Harpasos vadisinin Maiandros ile iç ve güney Karia’yı birbirine bağlayan stratejik konumu ve boğaz niteliğinde olması bölgeyi antik dönemde önemli bir stratejik bölge haline getirmiştir. Tarım alanlarının hâkimiyeti ve stratejik konumu nedeniyle bölge antik dönem içinde büyük çoğunlukla karışıklık içinde olmuştur. İ.Ö. V. yüzyılda çoğalan askeri mücadeleler, vergi toplama savaşı ve tarımsal üretime hâkim olabilmek için bölge de mücadeleler görülür. Böylesine önemli ve büyük ve bir ırmağın bulunduğu coğrafyadaki konumu itibariyle, birçok antik bölge sınırlarından geçmektedir. Kaynaklarını aldığı Phyrgia bölgesinden sonra Lydia, Karia ve İonia bölgelerinden geçmektedir. İonia’dan denize dökülene kadar çevresinde birçok antik yerleşim yeri yer almaktadır. Bu konu kapsamında literatür çalışması yaparak Menderes Havzasının etrafı ile ilişkilerini ve etkilerini ele almaya çalıştık. Bu anlamda bana bu konuyu çalışma fırsatı sunan danışman hocam Sayın Yrd. Doç. Dr. Mustafa YILMAZ’a, bölüm başkanımız Sayın Prof. Dr. Hasan BAHAR’a, Prof. Dr. Özdemir KOÇAK’a ve her zaman desteğini gördüğüm aileme sonsuz teşekkürlerimi sunarım. Mehmet Nuri TOKGÖZ KONYA 2011 iii ÖZET Maindros (Menderes) vadisi antik dönemde olduğu gibi günümüzde de önemli bir tarım alanıdır. Harpasos vadisinin Maiandros ile iç ve güney Karia’yı birbirine bağlayan stratejik konumu ve boğaz niteliğinde olması bölgeyi antik dönemde önemli bir yer haline getirmiştir. Menderes Lidya, Phrygia, İonia ve Karia bölgelerinin kesiştiği noktada olması bakımında da birçok antik kent ile siyasi ve ticari ilişkilerin sağlanmasına olanak sağlamıştır. Bu denli önemli coğrafya da bulunması ve birçok verimli araziye sahip olması, limanlara yakınlığı, bölgenin hâkimiyeti ve stratejik konumu nedeniyle bölge antik dönem içinde büyük çoğunlukla karışıklık içinde olmuştur. İ.Ö. V. yüzyılda çoğalan askeri mücadeleler, vergi toplama savaşları, tarımsal üretime ve ticareti faaliyetlere hâkim olabilmek için mücadeleler görülmektedir. Bu anlamda genel itibariyle bölgenin önemi tarihi süreç içerisinde ele alınıp değerlendirilmiştir. Birçok egemenliğin hakimiyet ettiği coğrafya sadece tarihsel anlamda değil bulunduğu jeopolitik durumu ile de ele alınmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Büyük Menderes Nehri, Jeopolitik ve Jeostratejik Önemi, Menderes Ovası, Siyasi, Askeri ve Ticari Faaliyetler. iv ABSTRAC Maiandrios valley is an important agricultural area today and in ancient times.

Adleromina: Stadt- und Kultgründungen auf Geheiß des Zeus Johannes NOLLÉ «Stadtgründer müssen unbedingt mit der Art und Weise vertraut sein, wie die Dichter Mythen erzählen und von der diese, wenn sie sie dichten, nicht abweichen dürfen. Hingegen dürfen Stadt- gründer auf gar keinen Fall selbst Mythen dichten.»1 Platon Regula Kunkel gewidmet 1. Einführung Platon hat in seinem ‹Staat› von den Stadt- bzw. Staatsgründern gefordert, einen klaren Blick dafür zu haben, dass griechische Dichter genremäßig einer mythischen Weltsicht verpflichtet seien. Von den Gründern eines idealen Staates aber verlangt er, es ihnen nicht nachzutun und sich auf keinen Fall auf den Mythos einzulassen (sondern sich an den Realitäten zu orientieren). Tatsächlich haben die hellenischen Stadtgründer von der archaischen Zeit bis in den Hellenismus, soweit wir das be- urteilen können, sich meist mit wohlüberlegten und klaren Zielsetzungen zu einer Stadt- bzw. ‹Ko- lonie›gründung entschlossen, dann nach rationalen Gesichtspunkten geeignete Plätze für ihre Gründungen ausgewählt und schließlich die Städte gut geplant und klar durchdacht angelegt2 – * Prof. Dr. Johannes Nollé, Kommission für Alte Geschichte und Epigraphik des DAI, Amalienstr. 73b, D- 80799 München ([email protected]).

  • Separating Fact from Fiction in the Aiolian Migration
    hesperia yy (2008) SEPARATING FACT Pages399-430 FROM FICTION IN THE AIOLIAN MIGRATION ABSTRACT Iron Age settlementsin the northeastAegean are usuallyattributed to Aioliancolonists who journeyed across the Aegean from mainland Greece. This articlereviews the literary accounts of the migration and presentsthe relevantarchaeological evidence, with a focuson newmaterial from Troy. No onearea played a dominantrole in colonizing Aiolis, nor is sucha widespread colonizationsupported by the archaeologicalrecord. But the aggressive promotionof migrationaccounts after the PersianWars provedmutually beneficialto bothsides of theAegean and justified the composition of the Delian League. Scholarlyassessments of habitation in thenortheast Aegean during the EarlyIron Age are remarkably consistent: most settlements are attributed toAiolian colonists who had journeyed across the Aegean from Thessaly, Boiotia,Akhaia, or a combinationof all three.1There is no uniformityin theancient sources that deal with the migration, although Orestes and his descendantsare named as theleaders in mostaccounts, and are credited withfounding colonies over a broadgeographic area, including Lesbos, Tenedos,the western and southerncoasts of theTroad, and theregion betweenthe bays of Adramyttion and Smyrna(Fig. 1).

  • Monuments, Materiality, and Meaning in the Classical Archaeology of Anatolia
    MONUMENTS, MATERIALITY, AND MEANING IN THE CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY OF ANATOLIA by Daniel David Shoup A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Classical Art and Archaeology) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Professor Elaine K. Gazda, Co-Chair Professor John F. Cherry, Co-Chair, Brown University Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Christopher John Ratté Professor Norman Yoffee Acknowledgments Athena may have sprung from Zeus’ brow alone, but dissertations never have a solitary birth: especially this one, which is largely made up of the voices of others. I have been fortunate to have the support of many friends, colleagues, and mentors, whose ideas and suggestions have fundamentally shaped this work. I would also like to thank the dozens of people who agreed to be interviewed, whose ideas and voices animate this text and the sites where they work. I offer this dissertation in hope that it contributes, in some small way, to a bright future for archaeology in Turkey. My committee members have been unstinting in their support of what has proved to be an unconventional project. John Cherry’s able teaching and broad perspective on archaeology formed the matrix in which the ideas for this dissertation grew; Elaine Gazda’s support, guidance, and advocacy of the project was indispensible to its completion. Norman Yoffee provided ideas and support from the first draft of a very different prospectus – including very necessary encouragement to go out on a limb. Chris Ratté has been a generous host at the site of Aphrodisias and helpful commentator during the writing process.

  • "On the Relations of Canaanite Exploration to Pre-Historic Classic
    176 ON THE RELATIONS OF CANAANITE EXPLORATION These inecriptions, and the bas-reliefs on the monument called Kamna Hurmill, in Crelo-Syria, near the source of the Orontes, and possibly of the same pe1·iod, are an enigma, as yet, to the most learned Orientaliots. It is to be hoped, however, now that attention is again called to the subject, that the clue may be found that shall unlock their meaning, and that Northern 8yI"ia will be no longer overlooked by tho explorer. DISCOVERY AT THE l\IOSQUE EL AKS.A, JERUSALEM.-llo A DISCOVERY of considerable interest has been made in this :Mosque by the Rev. J. Neil, who has only recently gone to Jerusalem for the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. "In the Mosque of El Aksa," he writes, "you will remember that there is a long plain room opening out at the south-east angle, called the Mosque of Omar, in which the only object of interest whatever is a recess supported by two twisted pillars, and called the Mihrab, or Praying-place of Omar. You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below. On vi~iting this the day before yesterday, July 5th, I discovered that a great part of the yellowish plaster had been removed from the top of these pillars, and that rich grotesquely carved capitals were exposed to view in an admirable state of preserva­ tion.

  • New Research in the Northern Necropolis of Hierapolis, Phrygia (Turkey)
    New research in the Northern necropolis of Hierapolis, Phrygia (Turkey) Anna Anguissola, Silvana Costa, Antonio Monticolo University of Pisa Italian Archaeological Mission at Hierapolis Since 1988, Hierapolis of Phrygia has been included in UNESCO’s list of mixed natural and cultural world heritage sites. Hierapolis is situated on a calcareous platform some 350 metres above sea level, on the western brink of the Anatolian plateau. It covers an area of ca. 65 ha and is surrounded by large cemeteries, built throughout the Hellenistic and imperial Roman periods. Some 600 monumental tombs with a remarkable variety of architectural types have been identified. Only a few of them have been either excavated or presented in scholarly publications. 1. The project This project (2017-2020) is the first coordinated effort to examine the funerary landscape of Hierapolis from a historical and social perspective. Our research focuses on the largest and the most complex of the cemeteries at Hierapolis, the northern Necropolis. Firstly, we aim to account for the general layout of the burial ground, as related to its topography, organizing principles, access and circulation, continuity and changes. Secondly, we wish to assess how individual monuments and sarcophagi contributed to the articulation of the funerary space by focusing on aspects such as material, techniques, visibility, use, and ownership of these objects. Thirdly, we integrate the study of funerary inscriptions as a means to gather information not only on specific persons, their status and lineage, but also on systems of belief, social symbols, memory, identity, social and political organization. 2. Area and funerary typologies We focus on the area between Tombs 156 and 162, including some 20 monuments and dozens of sarcophagi along the main road to Tripolis on the Meander.
