Ephesus (Ephesos): An Abbreviated History from Androclus to Constantine XI. The reader is provided with what is known about the city of Ephesus, its people, and its place within the larger framework of ancient and medieval Mediterranean history. Beginning with the Ionian migration and the founding of Ephesus on the west coast of Asia Minor around 1050 B.C., the story moves quickly through periods when the city was ruled successively by local tyrants, Persian kings and satraps, Athenian and Spartan generals, Antigonid, Ptolemaic and Seleucid kings, Roman emperors and Pergamene dynasts, Byzantine emperors and Greek patriarchs, Arab caliphs, Latin popes and crusaders, Seljuk and Beylik Turks, Mongols, and ending with the conquest by the Ottoman Turks in A.D. 1453. Throughout emphasis has been placed on the lives of Ephesian individuals and groups, and their respective contributions to architecture, law, literature, painting, medicine, philosophy, poetry, politics, religion and sculpture, often at times characterized by political and territorial power struggles and ecclesiastical doctrinal controversies and disagreements. The history of Ephesus is of ongoing interest to historians, archaeologists and students of classical literature, science, religion and philosophy, as well as to amateurs and laymen who are keenly interested in Mediterranian antiquity. It is documented with excerpts, biographical references, explanatory footnotes and a few illustrations.

Excerpt from Andros of Ephesus: A Tale of Early Christianity Had one been near him and watched his face closely, however, on this particular afternoon, there might have been discovered indications of trouble, as shown in the sad ness of the eyes and in the lines about the mouth. Strange and disquieting thoughts had recently entered the mind of Andros, the Ephesian, concerning the worship of Diana - thoughts that he could not under stand and difficulties which he was unable to solve. So general was the cultus of the great goddess that he was aware that he could not with safety confide his difficulties even to his nearest friend, yet they were real and tangible to him, and startling because of their newness and for the persistency with which they appeared to demand considera tion. He was much disquieted. He re mained stationary for a long time, his gaze fixed upon the temple, while his active mind was busy with the problems that had pre sented themselves.
