Corinthia is a regional unit of Greece, located in the Peloponnese region. Those are the dry geographical facts, but the region's historical legacy is an altogether more interesting story. World powers began battling for control over this area thousands of years ago. Most were eyeing the strategic Corinth Isthmus connecting the Peloponnese peninsula to mainland Greece. The Ancient Greeks attempted to carve a passage through the land bridge (where's Zeus when you need him?) for an easier transit of the 8,320-square-mile peninsula. It wasn’t until 1893 that technology caught up with ambition and a canal was dug for maritime passage. The ensuing development in the region has led parts of Corinthia to become essentially suburbs of Athens.
