work in Ionia in this important period of its history (700BC to the
Battle of Lade in 494BC)
* Organised thematically, covering landscape, economy, cities,
colonisation, warfare, cult, and art
* Accesses German and Turkish scholarship, presenting a useful
point of entry to the published literature for academics and
students

"Students of biblical history and archaeology will find
this volume of particular interest." (Near East
Archaeological Society Bulletin, 11 December 2013)
"The book is well produced, with an excellent binding and a
minimum of typographical errors. A glossary of terms used in the
text, an impressive bibliography, and a sufficient index add to the
usefulness and user-friendliness of the book." (The
American Journal of Archaeology, 1 January 2013)
"The book is well structured and is divided thematically into 10
chapnot ters . . . The book can be therefore recommended as a
useful introduction to the study of Archaic Ionia for students and
scholars alike." (Archaeological Review, 1 April 2011)
"This was a missed opportunity, but not significant enough to
diminish the book's success and usefulness." (Bryn Mawr Classical
Review, 17 April 2011)
"The study, and especially the maps, could prove a most useful
preparation or ready reference when reading Herodotus." (Book
News Inc, November 2010)
"Its accessibility and organization provides a much needed
bridge between Classical and 'mainstream' archaeology, and
brings both the ideas and this intriguing region to a wider
readership." (Minerva, November/December 2010)
"Greaves has succeeded admirably in producing an important
new reading of the history, development and significance of Ionia.
This is a book I will be recommending to my students for years to
come."
Lesley Beaumont, University of Sydney
"An approachable and much-needed introduction to Archaic
Ionia; Greaves successfully situates Ionia within its larger
Mediterranean context. Land of Ionia is a model for regional
studies in Classical Archaeology."
Rebecca K. Schindler, DePauw University
