The Royal Court of Corinth was a fansite. The focus was on the character Iphicles from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. The site had screencaps and fanart, sounds, an awards page, links to offsite fanfic about the character and links to other websites.

It was a member of the Supplemental Xena and Hercules Character WebRing and the Kevin Smith WebRing.

Description from Jen's Iphicles slash fiction site:

As the name suggests, a site dedicated to the Copper One. Contains gen, slash and het fic, a gallery, sound files (who doesn't want their computer to announce "I want Iphicles now" whenever new mail arrives?) and links to both slash and gen sites.
