". . . a major advance in the study of those cities in the
secondary rank and will, moreover, be of the utmost importance to
anyone engaged in the study of either East Greek history or the
history and development of the polls. One wishes to see more of
this type of history to be written." [sic]
--P. J. Smith, University of Vermont, Bryn Mawr Classical Review,
June 9, 2002-- (08/07/2002)
". . . 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."
