formerly called the Peloponnesus, is a peninsula to the south of Greece, to which it is joined by the isthmus of Corinth. Its form resembles a mulberry-leaf, and its name is derived from the great number of mulberry-trees which grow there. It is about 180 miles in length, and 130 in breadth. The air is temperate, and the land fertile, except in the middle, where it is full of mountains, and is watered by a great number of rivers. It is divided into three provinces; Scania, Belvedera, and Brazzo-di-Maina. It was taken from the Turks by the Venetians in 1687; but they lost it again in 1715. The fangiac of the Morea resides at Mozon. See GREECE and PELOPONNESUS.
