WHAT DOES PELOPONNESIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Peloponnesian

Peloponnese

The Peloponnese, Peloponnesos, or Peloponnesus is a large peninsula and geographic region in southern Greece. It is separated from the northern part of the country by the Gulf of Corinth. During the late Middle Ages and the Ottoman era, the peninsula was known as the Morea, a name still in colloquial use in its demotic form. The peninsula is divided among three administrative regions: most belongs to the Peloponnese region, with smaller parts belonging to the West Greece and Attica regions. It was here that the Greek War of Independence began, and the Peloponnesians have almost totally dominated politics and government in Greece since then.
