Map of the Corinthian isthmus where the situation of Soligea can be appreciated.
Soligea (Greek, Σολύγεια) was an ancient Greek settlement belonging to Corinthia. It was located on a hill called Soligeo and dominated the coast between two promontories called Chersoneso and Rito. History
According to Thucydides, on the hill where Soligea settled, some ancient settlers had been established who had waged war against the Corinthians, who belonged to the tribe of Aeolians.
During the Peloponnesian War, in the year 425 a. Soligea was the scene of a confrontation between an Athenian army and another one of Corinth. The Athenians had begun an expedition against Corinth, led by Nicias, with 80 triremes, 2000 hoplites, 200 horsemen and allies of Miletus, Andros and Caristo, and landed in the territory dominated by Soligea. The Corinthians, led by Bato and Lycophron, went to protect the village of Soligea, which had no walls, and attacked the Athenians. After a long confrontation in which the Corinthians took the worst part, reinforcements arrived in support of Corinthians and the Athenians were forced to re-embark. Thucydides offers a balance of 212 deaths among the Corinthians, including Lycophron, by about 50 among the Athenians. According to Polieno account, the Athenians used a stratagem consisting of first disembarking a part of their troops that hid and when the Corinthians came to treat of avoiding the landing of the others, those who were ambushed left and caused great losses to the Corinthians.
