It was clearly dangerous and time-consuming for ships to travel round the peninsula, so Periander, who was Tyrant of Corinth and one of the 7 wise men of ancient Greece, was determined to find a solution.

Firstly the difference in sea level on the two sides would cause water from the Gulf of Corinth to flow into the Saronic Gulf with unknown consequences.
