Who are Greeks from Corinthia?
Greeks from Corinthia come from the northeastern Peloponnese around Corinth, the Corinthian Gulf, and the Isthmus linking the Peloponnese to mainland Greece. Corinthia has ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Frankish, Venetian, Ottoman, and modern Greek layers, with strong links to Attica, Argolis, Achaea, and central Greece.
Greek is the main language. Corinthia should be read as a northeastern Peloponnesian profile that bridges the Peloponnese, Attica, and central Greece.
As a genetic reference, Greek Peloponnese Corinthia is useful for comparison with Argolis, Elis, Achaea, Euboea Chalcis South, Arcadia, Phocis, Messenia, Attica, Arcadia North Kynouria, and Laconia Vardounia/East Taygetos.
