Corinthiăcus Sinus

（Κορινθιακὸς κόλπος). The modern Gulf of Lepanto, an arm of the sea running in between the coast of Achaia and Sicyonia to the south, and that of Phocis, Locris, and Aetolia to the north. The gulf had the general appellation of Corinthian as far as the Isthmus, but it was divided into smaller bays, the names of which were sometimes poetically used for the entire gulf. Its different names were the Crissaean, Cirrhaean, Delphic, Calydonian, Rhian, and Halcyonian.
