The papers in Karia and the Dodekanese, Vol. I, focus on regional
developments and interregional relations in western Asia Minor and
the Dodekanese during the Late Classical and Early Hellenistic
period. Throughout antiquity, this region was a dynamic meeting
place for eastern and western civilizations. Cultural achievements
of exceptional and everlasting importance, including significant
creations of ancient Greek literature, philosophy, art and
architecture, originated in the coastal cities of western Anatolia
and the adjoining Aegean islands. In the fourth century BC, the
eastern cities experienced a new economic boom, and a revival of
Archaic culture, sometimes termed 'The Ionian Renaissance', began.
The cultural revival furthered rebuilding of old major works such
as the Artemision at Ephesos, the embellishment of sanctuaries and
a new royal architecture, such as the Maussolleion at
Halikarnassos. The rich cultural revival was initially promoted by
the satrapal family of the Hekatomnids in Karia and in particular
by its most famous member, Maussollos, whose influence was not
confined to Asia Minor, but included the Dodekanese islands Kos and
Rhodos. Partly under the influence of the Karian satrapy, a number
of cities were founded on a new common urban model in Rhodos,
Halikarnassos, Priene, Knidos and Kos. When Alexander the Great
conquered the satrapies in western Asia Minor in 334 BC, the
culture initially promoted at the satrapal courts was carried on by
gifted thinkers, poets and architects, preparing the way for
Hellenistic cultural centres such as Alexandria.
