XXIV. CORINTH
Considering the close connection which history shows between Corinth and Egypt
in the seventh century, when tyrants of Corinth could give their sons Egyptian names—
Psammetichus, Psammis—and enter into alliance on almost equal terms, it is sur-
prising that only one piece of Egyptian work has ever come from there, and even that
is uncertain, for it was bought in Athens. Excavation, however, has only just begun to
reach the seventh-century stratum, and it may confidently be prophesied that many
more pieces of concrete evidence will turn up.
