Gedurende 2001 was ek so gelukkig om 'n vinnige draai in Griekeland te maak en onder andere 'n uurtjie in Korinte deur te bring.
Die terrein waarop Antieke Korinte geleë was, was so vroeg as 1000 vC reeds bewoon. Die stad het sedert die 8ste eeu vC begin ontwikkel en het na 657 vC 'n eerste hoogbloei onder Periandros belewe. Dit is in 146 vC deur die Romeine verwoes en eers weer in 44 nC herbou tot die Bybelse Korinte wat Paulus in 51/52 nC besoek het.

Pieter Mauritz Retief was born on 12 November 1780 on the farm Soetendal, in the Wagenmakersvalley, and was the fourth of 10 children of Jacobus and Debora Retief - born Joubert. His family were Boers of French Huguenot ancestry. His great-grandfather was the 1688 refugee Francois Retif (1663 – 1721) from Mer sur Blois, Province, in France, the progenitor of the name in South Africa.
