CORRIDOR, or Corridor, in Fortification, a road or way along the edge of the ditch, without-side; encompassing the whole fortification. The word comes from the Italian corridor, or the Spanish corridor.

It is also called the covert-way, because covered with a glacis, or esplanade, serving it as a parapet.—The corridor is about 20 yards broad.

Corridor is also used in architecture for a gallery or long aisle around a building, leading to several chambers at a distance from each other, sometimes wholly inclosed, and sometimes open on one side.

CORINTHA, a Grecian lady, celebrated for her beauty and poetic talents, was born at Theissu, a city of Boeotia, and was the disciple of Myrtis another Grecian lady. Her verses were so esteemed by the Greeks, that they gave her the name of the lyric muse. She lived in the time of Pindar, about 495 years before Christ; and is said to have gained the prize of lyric poetry from that poet; but Paulusians observes that her beauty made the judges partial.
