Ephesus was one of the most important cities of the ancient world, a political, economic, cultural and religious center of the first rank, which has made an enormous contribution to the cultural and intellectual history of the Greco-Roman world. The early history of Ephesus is quite elusive. In this book for the first time an attempt is made to reconstruct the fate of the city in the period from the so-called “Ionic migration” (11th/10th century BC) to the end of the Persian Wars (479 BC) on the basis of the surviving ancient literary sources. This concise representation is not only relevant for ancient historians, but also for archaeologists, philologists, philosophers, cultural historians, scholars of religions and all those interested in the early history of Ephesus. All relevant source texts are not only quoted in full, but also newly translated into German.
