Corinth, the ancient city and former municipality in Corinthia, Peloponnese is located in south-central Greece, deriving its name from Ancient Corinth, a city-state of antiquity that began to develop as a commercial center. In about 550 BC, an oligarchical government seized power and allied with Sparta within the Peloponnesian League, and participated in the Persian Wars and Peloponnesian War as an ally of Sparta. After Sparta's victory in the Peloponnesian war, the two allies fell out with one another, and Corinth pursued an independent policy in the various wars of the early 4th century BC.
