Old Corinth Had Roots of Modern Art and Religion
A National Geographic bulletin traces ancient Corinth Greece as a trading hub shaping western art and faith. It notes Phoenician merchants, two ports, and wealth fueling a metropolis rivaling Baltimore or St. Louis, with Corinthian columns and early painting and tile work. The piece covers its rise under Julius Caesar, Paul the Apostle, and later shifts through Roman, Byzantine, and Turkish rule before Greek independence.

Corinth and its ancient past as a center of trade and myth
The text describes the 1858 earthquake that devastated Corinth and the subsequent relocation to New Corinth near the Gulf of Corinth. It notes the Isthmus canal project begun by Nera, halted by a rebellion, and eventually completed between 1881 and 1893 at a cost of 12 million dollars, shortening travel between the Adriatic and Athens. It highlights Corinth’s decline to local significance, the production of seedless currants, archaeological work since 1896 uncovering streets, shops, aqueducts, and a 2,600 year old Temple of Apollo, and mythic ties to Pegasus and the spring Pelrenes on the acropolis.

The Season of Darkness and Night Ends
A reflective voice declares weariness with worldly noise and masks and bids others depart. The speaker foresees transformation as the seed of God breaks free, wings grow in the folds of an old garment, and a new era dawns unseen by most, quoting Barbara Young and the New York Times.
