"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 chap--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)
