-
in the time of the Cypselid tyranny,
-
mostly, out in the west,
-
that sort of empty territory from a Greek point of view,
-
and so you will see Corinthian colonies stretching out along the shore,
-
the north shore of the Gulf of Corinth, and north shore is less Greek
-
and more barbaric than the south shore which is the Peloponessus.
-
Then if you go to the end of Greece as far west as you go,
-
and make a right turn and head up into the Adriatic region--
-
I'm sorry, the Ionian Sea and beyond that the Adriatic.
-
Corinthian colonies are right along in there and they suggest,
-
and I think they're supported by other archaeological evidence,
-
that commerce was one of the things that was very important for Cypselus
