Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Great Commentary of Cornelius À Lapide, Vol. 7: I Corinthians
Corinth is said to have had its first foundation from Sisyphus, the robber son of olus, and to have been called Corcyra (strabo, lib. And afterwards Ephyre. Having been destroyed, it was rebuilt by Corinth, son of Marithon, or of Pelops, according to Suidas, or according to others of Orestes, and was called after his name. Cicero, in his Speech pro lege jlfanilia, calls this city the light of the whole of Greece. Its natural position was so strong that the Romans found great difficulty in reducing it.
