The following post by Australian author, Luciana Cavalarro, immediately caught my attention: Corruption, sex and St. Paul. In preparation of the the release of her 2nd book in the series, “The Labyrinthine Journey”, Luciana provides a travel log of all of the places where her modern day hero and time traveler will continue his odyssey to ancient civilizations.
In this post, we learn more about Corinth and why the Greek city was considered corrupt and immoral. The 2nd book in the series promises to be even more epic that the first and full of adventure and love.
Hope you enjoy!
After leaving Messene, Evan and his companions head north towards the Corinthian Gulf. However, the trip wasn’t without a few incidents: an altercation with a Mycenaean princess and her ignoble father, and a sword fight with brigands, in which Evan was seriously injured. In any case, the group eventually arrive in Corinth, a city St. Paul in 51CE, had preached to and pleaded Christian unity. Why did St. Paul go to Corinth? Aside from stamping out “paganism” and converting pagans to Christianity, Corinth was considered a sinful city.
Apollo Temple has been built in Doric style on the ruins of earlier temple, being a good example of peripteral temple, supported by 38 columns, only 7 of which are still in place.
