This survey of the origins and development of Miletos from prehistory to its medieval decline focuses on the archaic era, when Miletos enjoyed its greatest influence and prosperity. Archaeological evidence is presented throughout, and useful case-studies explore a wide range of issues.

During the formative years of the archaic period, Ionia was one of the most important regions of the ancient world; however, Ionia's local identity has often been overlooked in scholarly works. This long overdue study of Archaic Ionia seeks to redress this omission.
