Its power varied over the three millenia of its existence. During the classical Greek period, it was a second rate power, with a navy easily beatable by Athens, and an army which was easily beatable by Sparta or Athens. During the absence of the main army of Athens on an expedition, Corinth took the opportunity to invade. All that was left in Athens were the old men and boys not elegible to go with its expeditionary force, and these turned out and repelled the Corinthian main army. On return home, this defeated army was chiacked by the boys and oldies of Corinth and was so humiliated it went back to try again the following day. It was ambushed, with great slaughter. Howevr it did fight successfully in cooperation with other Peloponnesian allies in other conflicts.

How did Union General Henry Halleck protect his supply lines as he marched towards Corinth Mississippi?

Union General Henry Halleck had amassed an army of over 100,000 troops in his pursuit to capture or destroy Confederate troops under the command of General Beauregard which were positioned at Corinth, Mississippi. He would then be two states deep into Confederate territory. With his base of supply on the Tennessee River he faced a problem. In order to keep his supply lines open for his large army, he could not rely on a river or a railway. Instead he corduroyed off miles of roadways. This took extra time and benefited the Confederates at Corinth.
