Eurip. ap. Strab. VIII.

" I have left the famous shores
Where the double ocean roars;
From Corinth's holy hill I come,
Mountainous Corinth, Cytherea's home."

J. P.

" Qualiter undas

Qui secat, et geminum gracilis mare separat Isthmus,

Nee patitur conferre fretum; si terra recedat,

Ionium Aegaeo frangat mare."

Lucan. Phaks. 100.

" A narrow earth-built isthmus proudly braves
The iEgean here, and there the Ionian waves;
But, should it sink, with wild tempestuous gush
To conflict these imperious tides would rush."
