The Land of Ionia: Society and Economy in the Archaic Period

“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)

“Greaves has succeeded admirably in producing an important new reading of the history, development and significance of Ionia. This is a book I will be recommending to my students for years to come.”
Lesley Beaumont, University of Sydney

“An approachable and much-needed introduction to Archaic Ionia; Greaves successfully situates Ionia within its larger Mediterranean context. Land of Ionia is a model for regional studies in Classical Archaeology.”
