Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Isthmus
A narrow strip of land bounded by water connecting larger land masses.
The most famous isthmus in Greece was the Isthmus of Korinth (Corinth) which connected the Peloponnesian Peninsula to Attika (Attica), it was approximately 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) wide and a drag-way was constructed to transport ships across isthmus to avoid having to sail around the Peloponnesian Peninsula to go from the Gulf of Korinth to the Saronic Gulf.
