This book examines foundation myths told about the Ionian cities
during the archaic and classical periods. It uses these myths to
explore the complex and changing ways in which civic identity was
constructed in Ionia, relating this to the wider discourses about
ethnicity and cultural difference that were current in the Greek
world at this time. The Ionian cities seem to have rejected
oppositional models of cultural difference which set in contrast
East and West, Europe and Asia, Greek and Barbarian, opting instead
for a more fluid and nuanced perspective on ethnic and cultural
distinctions. The conclusions of this book have far-reaching
implications for our understanding of Ionia, but also challenge
current models of Greek ethnicity and identity, suggesting that
there was a more diverse conception of Greekness in antiquity than
has often been assumed.
