Magnesia ad Maeandrum occupied a strategic position between Ephesos, Priene and Tralleis, linking the Ionian coast with the Maeander valley. Around 400 BC, its inhabitants relocated to a more defensible site beneath Mount Thorax, near the sanctuary of Artemis Leukophryene. Amid struggles between Sparta and Persia, the city maintained its Greek civic traditions and the local goddess’s cult, which remained central to Magnesian identity.
