“…The Ephesian people saw the Amazons as part of their history. Recently, it has been suggested that the “Ephesian Amazon” myth was created in order to preserve the memory of the city’s independence (Mee, 2008: 372–374) through strong female warriors, who clashed with the Athenian male-dominated ideology of keeping women’s position restricted in the household and inferior to men (Mac Sweeney, 2013: 154–155).…”

The controversial Amazons’ myth has always been a matter of debate as to whether it is real or nothing more than a simple tale. Therefore, many scholars have tried to analyze the myths and their iconographic depictions, in an attempt to discover the truth behind the legend. Amazons have been described in many primary and secondary sources. Famous philosophers and historians of Antiquity have spread their legend and acknowledged them as “equals to men” providing valuable information for their daily life. These untamed females were warriors without hesitation or fear. They battled with the civilized and male-dominated ancient world, which wanted women restrained within the household, doing “women’s work” and child-raising. They defied patriarchy, contributing to changing the notion of women’s rights through the years, managing out of a feministic perspective to become one of the earliest and brightest examples of early feminism worldwide.

“…For syntheses of archaeological work with a more defined chronological range, Alan Greaves’ The Land of Ionia: Society and Economy in the Archaic Period focuses on the Archaic period, bringing a critical approach to the practice and methodologies used in Ionian archaeology (Greaves 2010; cf. Lemos 2007; Crielaard 2009; Mac Sweeney 2013). Greaves placed Ionian archaeology in a broader context and called for archaeological practice in Ionia to be integrated more closely with archaeological theory.…”

“…Elsewhere, Vaessen has presented an overview of the Ionian Migration discourse and discussed how it was used until recent centuries in the contexts of colonialism and westernization (Vaessen 2018). Mac Sweeney has examined the foundation myths of Ionian poleis , discussing the assumed cultural differences and ethnic diversities in the Archaic and Classical periods (Mac Sweeney 2013). Another recent article by Mac Sweeney discusses Greek regional identities with reference to Ionians and their collectivity during the Archaic and Classical periods (Mac Sweeney 2021).…”

This paper presents a review of recent archaeological work in Ionia and Caria, located in southwest Anatolia. In this paper we focus on archaeological research conducted in the past decade and we present a synthesis of recent discoveries and published research. Southwest Anatolia is a region where the earliest archaeological work dates back to the 19th century. However, there are research areas that have been long neglected, and archaeological work has been stifled until recent decades. As a result, the last decade of research has seen significant transformations in approaches and methodologies, with new research agendas to report. Owing to their presentation in historical accounts, Ionia has been perceived as more embedded within the world of Greek archaeology, whereas Caria, viewed from an Atheno-centric perspective, has been regarded as peripheral and provincial. Therefore, it is interesting to present a synthesis of archaeological research for both regions together. It is promising that archaeological practice in both regions has begun to embrace a longue dureé approach and has shifted research focus from major urban centres and monuments to new research foci by making use of interdisciplinary research, including rural landscapes, domestic space, cultural identities, and daily practices.
