Description: ". . . provides a firm grounding in the history of Miletos down to the Classical period. The book tends to mix a chronological and thematic approach, while taking into account archaeological and literary evidence. . . . Gorman is comfortably familiar with the secondary literature and her writing is a pleasure to read. She has a fine ability to condense a problem, state the arguments pro and con, and stake out her position, without a lot of clutter and without vituperation. . . . This is simply a well argued, well supported book which should become a standard work on the subject. There is precious little in English which attempts to provide a historical overview of Miletos. Gorman is to be commended for producing a solid, readable history of this important city." -- Religious Studies Review
