Paul left Athens "after these things" (Acts 18:1) and went to Corinth, 53 miles away. Corinth was built on a narrow isthmus between the Aegean and Adriatic seas. It was an ancient "panama canal" except that goods and small ships were hauled overland. The city was ancient but was destroyed and then rebuilt and resettled by the Romans. A cosmopolitan place, people from all over the world lived there, and it was noted for its sinfulness. The photo shows ruins of the temple of Apollo and, beyond, the infamous Acrocorinth, on top of which was a temple to Aphrodite, goddess of love. Her one thousand prostitutes served the city and contributed to its reputation.
