About Corcyra

Corcyra was an ancient Greek city on the island of Corfu in the Ionian Sea adjacent to Epirus. It was a colony of Corinth founded in the Archaic period. Corcyra acted as a port of call for ships sailing west, especially to the Italian coast or farther north. According to Thucydides, the earliest recorded naval battle took place between Corcyra and Corinth in the mid-7th century BC, roughly 260 years before he was writing. He also writes that Corcyra was one of the three great naval powers in 5th-century BC Greece, along with Athens and Corinth.
