  1. Palermo by the Phoenicians and not the Greeks


  2. Palermo.

    The Greeks called the settlement Panormus. Its Greek name means "all-port"; the name denoted the fine natural harbor.

  3. palemro

  4. Syracuse - christopher is right.

  5. Syracuse

    It was founded in south-eastern Sicily by the Corinthians and soon became the most important city in Sicily. When the Corinthians allied with Sparta during the Peloponnesian War, the Athenians sent out a disastrous expedition to capture Syracuse, and their loses were so great that many see this as the main factor in Athens' defeat in the war.

    EDIT: People below me, Palermo was founded the same time as Syracuse, but the question specified that it was colonized by Greeks from Corinth, so the answer has to be Syracuse, since Palermo was founded by Phoenicians.
