Korka

The broader vicinity of Tenea in southern Corinth has always been of interest to archaeologists, but also to antiquities smugglers. The Kouros of Tenea, for example, is a masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture that has been at a Munich museum since 1854 after being illegally taken out of the newly established Greek state.

Greece's culture ministry said Tuesday that archaeologists have located the first tangible remains of a lost city that the ancient Greeks believed was first settled by Trojan captives of war after the sack of Troy.
