A PELAPONNESIAN KING

Specialty Definition: Peloponnesos

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Peloponnesos (Greek: Πελοπόννησος, sometime Latinized as Peloponnesus or Anglicized as The Peloponnese) is a large peninsula in Greece, forming the part of the country south of the Isthmus of Corinth.

In medieval times it was called the Morea from its resemblance to a mulberry-leaf in shape.
