After a discussion of the fragmentary evidence for several buildings of the Greek period which were swept to construct it, the South Stoa at Corinth is treated in detail. Careful description of all the remains, both those in situ and reused blocks, forms the basis of the reconstruction of this extensive two-story building of the third quarter of the 4th century B.C. which stretched the full length of the south side of the Corinthian Agora and, more than any other single building, established the size and shape of the center of the Hellenistic and Roman city. One of the largest secular buildings in Greece, the South Stoa appears to have been planned as a kind of hotel to accommodate visitors at a time when Corinth served as the capital of a briefly united Greek world. ... In its final phase various buildings, including a bouleuterion, a fountain house, a bathing establishment, and a public latrine were built into the ground floor. |

Hill, Bert H ... American School of Classical Studies at Athens ... The two springs in the Corinthian Agora, Peirene and the Sacred Spring, which were dug early in the excavation of Corinth, were studied in exhaustive detail for more than 40 years by Bert Hodge Hill as ... 1964 ... After introductory testimonia and identification, Peirene is described in its numerous periods (several Greek, seven Roman, Byzantine, and Modern) with a special section on Supply Tunnels and an analysis of paintings by Prentice Duell who did the watercolors from which the color plates were made. ... As Carl Blegen says in the preface, Here we see Bert Hill's searching methods, his logical mind at work, and his uncanny ability to deal with a complex problem. Although his final chronological conclusions are missing, his meticulous description, logical interpretation, convincing reconstruction, and evidence for relative chronology given in full detail are a worthy memorial to a great archaeologist. |
