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."

" 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."
