Miletos was one of the foremost Greek cities of Ionia, situated near the mouth of the Maeander River on the western coast of Anatolia. A major center of maritime trade and colonization, it founded settlements across the Black Sea and Mediterranean. Miletos was also renowned for philosophy and science, producing thinkers such as Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes. Its wealth and strategic position made it influential throughout the Archaic and Classical periods.
