ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The Dorians together with the Ionians and the Aeolians participated during the Early Iron Age in the colonisation of the western coast of Asia Minor. There they established two new Greek cities, Halicarnassus and Cnidus. The selection of the specific sites was based on the criterion of securing arable land and, as a result, the Dorian colonies became agrarian settlements. The Dorians brought their dialect, their mores and their devotional practices to their new homes. |
