This is the first official guidebook to the site of ancient Corinth
published by the ASCSA in over 50 years, and it comes fully updated
with the most current information, colour photos, maps, and plans.
It is an indispensable resource for the casual tourist or
professional archaeologist new to the site. The guide begins with a
history of Corinth and its excavations and then presents two tours.
The first takes visitors through the archaeological site from the
Temple of Apollo to the Forum, the Fountain of Peirene, and more.
The second tour covers the ancient monuments outside the fenced
area of the site, including the Odeion, the Theatre, and the
Asklepieion, and then the various remains of ancient Corinth
located within and outside the ancient Greek walls, including the
Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore and the Lechaion Basilica. Short
bibliographic notes for many entries lead the reader to fuller
descriptions of monuments, objects, and concepts; a glossary is
also provided. Interspersed in the text are topographical notes and
focus boxes on special topics such as geology, Pausanias, St. Paul,
and prehistoric Corinth and the Corinthia.  Greek
