		Ionian Smyrna was a great city, whose dominion extended to the east far beyond the valley, and whose armies contended on even terms against the power of Lydia.
		The earlier city had been on a steep lofty hill overhanging on the north the extreme eastern recess of the gulf: the new city was on the southeast shore of the gulf about two miles away.
		In fact, the words state plainly that the crown of Smyrna consisted of buildings, and, in the picturesque language of current talk (which always catches salient features), buildings are likened to a crown because they stand on a conspicuous place and in an orderly way.

		The Ionian States were to govern their own internal organization, with a "Lord High Commissioner" from England to adorn the Governor's palace and act as the general head of affairs.

	Philip Tagg \| Harmony - EPMOW entry (2000)
		In simple terms, the ionian mode’s fourth is felt to be pulled down to the major third a semitone below, while its major seventh or leading note is so called because it is heard as leading up to the keynote one semitone above.
		With the exception of [4], all jazz harmony follows the underlying principles as European art music: flat sevenths tend to fall, sharp sevenths rise, accidentals (alterations) are used for chromatic effect or for modulation, and there is pretty strict adherence to falling, subdominantal (V-I) progressions anticlockwise round the circle of fifths.
		The fifth degree triad of minor modes was also often altered to major in European polyphonic music during the ascendancy of the ionian mode, typically to introduce V-I cadences containing dominant sevenths and their double leading notes (see §2.b.ii).

		But the major feature that distinguishes the Ionians from the mainland and the central swarm of Greek islands in the Aegean is climatic: a reliable rainfall pattern has allowed centuries of fairly stable agriculture and has nurtured olive trees, vineyards, rich fruit and vegetable crops, and even wheat and cereal farming on some islands.
		The Ionian islands display similar geographical characteristics, too: all are mountainous (even tiny Paxi has a small mountain of sorts), with their east coasts tending to be gentle dip slopes above flat, sometimes reclaimed, farm land.
		Island-hopping through the Ionian is not as tricky as some people imagine and, with a month on your hands, you could easily get a taster of all six major islands, though you would be unlikely to see any of them in depth.

	Gissing, By the Ionian Sea
		It is barely half a mile long; it rises amid a bed of great reeds, which quite conceal the water, and flows with an average breadth of some ten feet down to the seashore, on either side of it bare, dusty fields, and a few hoary olives.
		A wind was rising; at the dim little stations I heard it moan and buffet, and my carriage, where all through the journey I sat alone, seemed the more comfortable.
		As soon as I could rise from bed, I must flee Cotrone, and think myself fortunate in escaping alive; but to turn my back on the Lacinian promontory, leaving the cape unvisited, the ruin of the temple unseen, seemed to me a miserable necessity which I should lament as long as I lived.

		This 'Ionian school' as it has become known produced (like Thales) results in fields other than basic philosophy; all knowledge was their province, and some half-century after the eclipse Anaximander drew, or more correctly engraved, the first map.
		It was no doubt because the Ionian dialect was that predominantly used in late sixth-century and early fifth-century prose literature that Herodotos wrote his book in the dialect of his northern neighbours.
		Further, as the twelve cities of the Ionian group were amongst the leaders in trade and commerce (a not insignificant factor in their intellectual progress) their dialect had become familiar to many non-Ionian Greeks, and was well understood in Athens, the reputed 'metropolis' or mother city of the Ionian settlers in Asia (Bk.

		Ancient Greeks were familiar with the dull-white star that shone steadily across the clear skies of the Aegean Sea in the warm glow of dawn.
