Zusammenfassung:"This book traces the growth and development of Miletos, one of the largest and most influential cities of ancient Greece, through its abundant archaeological remains and scarce historical references. The relationship between the city and the land, and the role that it played as a bridge between east and west, are examined through a series of case studies." "The socio-economic themes developed in the book include the search for metals, the city's extensive links throughout the Mediterranean, its population and the foundation of a series of colonies across the Black Sea. Miletos' chief cult centre, the oracle of Apollo at Didyma, and its relationship to the city are examined in detail and the role that Miletos played as a centre for philosophy and learning is briefly explored. Its early Minoan and Mycenaean origins are also investigated."--BOOK JACKET.
