The Tradition of the Ionian Colonisation of Asia Minor: Remarks on the Sources

Abstract

This article discusses the tradition of the Ionian colonisation preserved in ancient literary sources. The author focuses on the time and circumstances in which the view that the Athenians were responsible for the Ionian colonisation emerged. He also examines whether there is any support in the sources for the opinion expressed by some  historians that such a belief was already strong in the Archaic period.
