Poseidon's Helike, 373 BC
Helike stands as the leading city of the Achaean League on the Gulf of Corinth in the last winter before the earthquake and wave of 373 BC. The walk threads the harbour, the busy agora and its stoas, the poplar grove and the famed sanctuary of Helikonian Poseidon across the low coastal plain beneath Mount Kerynites.
14 scenes, 9 streets, squares and views, 5 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Helike as it stood in 373 BC (“Helike”).
