  • 科林斯湾战役是约873年拜占庭帝国与克里特酋长国的舰队在科林斯湾发生的海战,率领的拜占庭舰队出其不意地进攻了阿拉伯人,使得拜占庭获得了完全胜利。 根据10世纪的编年史《》(其编年文献后来几乎没有改动就被11世纪历史学家重复使用),在拜占庭皇帝巴西尔一世的统治早期,克里特埃米尔,克里特酋长国创建者的儿子(希腊语称“Saet”)派遣一位拜占庭叛变者,被称为“一个好战的、精力充沛的家伙”的,对拜占庭帝国发起了一次大规模的突袭远征。佛提乌的第一次袭击被拜占庭尼基塔斯·奥里法斯在卡尔迪亚战役中阻止。 历史学家(David Pettegrew)对这一事件的历史真实性产生怀疑,指出尼基塔斯将其舰队运过地峡是公元前1世纪后第一次也是唯一一次有记录的事件,此时依旧存在。由于即便是在古代,将整个舰队运过地峡都会被认为是非凡的壮举,这几乎不可能在如此短的时间内完成,以至于可以突然袭击一支停泊在科林斯附近的舰队,佩特格鲁认为尼基塔斯的运输和胜利更多是一种意象,让人联想起历史上的类似事件,尤其是马其顿的腓力五世在公元前217年征战伊利里亚人时所做的相同策略,而不是真实的历史事件。 (zh)

  • The Battle of the Gulf of Corinth was a battle fought in c. 873 between the fleets of the Byzantine Empire and the Cretan Saracens in the Gulf of Corinth. The Byzantines under Niketas Ooryphas managed to surprise the Saracens, resulting in a major Byzantine victory. According to the 10th-century chronicler Theophanes Continuatus—whose work was later reused almost without change by the 11th-century historian John Skylitzes—in the early years of the reign of the Emperor Basil I the Macedonian (r. 867–886) the Arab emir of Crete, Shu'ayb ("Saet" in Greek), son of the founder of the emirate, Abu Hafs, sent a Greek renegade called Photios, "a warlike and energetic fellow", on major raiding expeditions against the Byzantine Empire. The first raid was defeated by the droungarios of the Fleet, Niketas Ooryphas, at the Battle of Kardia (c. 872/3). Photios with the remnants of his fleet survived to return to Crete, and some time shortly after—probably c. 873, although some scholars place it as late as 879—launched another expedition, raiding the shores of the Peloponnese. Ooryphas once again led a fleet to meet the Saracens. Aided by favourable wind, he arrived at the harbour of Kenchreai on the northeastern Peloponnese within a few days. There he learned that the Saracens had moved south and west around the Peloponnese, raiding Methone, Pylos, and Patras, and entered the Corinthian Gulf to raid the western approaches of Corinth. Following them by circumnavigating the Peloponnese would take time, and Ooryphas was unwilling to risk allowing them to escape. Thus, according to the Byzantine historians, he decided to haul his ships over the Isthmus of Corinth into the Corinthian Gulf. This was done, and the Byzantine fleet fell upon the Saracens, who were caught completely off guard. He destroyed many of their ships and killed many of the raiders, including Photios, while many others were captured and—especially the Christian renegades among them—tortured to death in various ways. Historian David Pettegrew has cast doubt on the historicity of this event, pointing out that Ooryphas' portage of his fleet over the Isthmus is the first and only such recorded event after the 1st century BC, when the diolkos was still active. Given that the portage of entire fleets across the Isthmus was considered even in Antiquity an extraordinary feat, and was hardly possible to be carried out in such short time as to surprise a fleet anchored near Corinth, Pettegrew suggests that Ooryphas' portage and victory must be considered more a literary topos evoking Classical models, specifically Philip V of Macedon's similar action while campaigning against the Illyrians in 217 BC, rather than an actual event.
