THALES.--For several centuries prior to the great Persian invasions\u003cbr\u003eof Greece, perhaps the very greatest and wealthiest city of the Greek\u003cbr\u003eworld was Miletus.  Situate about the centre of the Ionian coasts of\u003cbr\u003eAsia Minor, with four magnificent harbours and a strongly defensible\u003cbr\u003eposition, it gathered to itself much of the great overland trade, which\u003cbr\u003ehas flowed for thousands of years eastward and westward between India\u003cbr\u003eand the Mediterranean; while by its great fleets it created a new world\u003cbr\u003eof its own along the Black Sea coast.  Its colonies there were so\u003cbr\u003enumerous that Miletus was named 'Mother of Eighty Cities.'  From Abydus\u003cbr\u003eon the Bosphorus, past Sinope, and so onward to the Crimea and the Don,\u003cbr\u003eand thence round to Thrace, a busy community of colonies, mining,\u003cbr\u003emanufacturing, ship-building, corn-raising, owned Miletus for their\u003cbr\u003emother-city.  Its {2} marts must therefore have been crowded with\u003cbr\u003emerchants of every country from India to Spain, from Arabia to Russia;\u003cbr\u003ethe riches and the wonders of every clime must have become familiar to\u003cbr\u003eits inhabitants.  And fitly enough, therefore, in this city was born\u003cbr\u003ethe first notable Greek geographer, the first constructor of a map, the\u003cbr\u003efirst observer of natural and other curiosities, the first recorder of\u003cbr\u003evarieties of custom among various communities, the first speculator on\u003cbr\u003ethe causes of strange phenomena,--Hecataeus.  His work is in great part\u003cbr\u003elost, but we know a good deal about it from the frequent references to\u003cbr\u003ehim and it in the work of his rival and follower, Herodotus.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074086879472,"sku":"2940015114263","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015114263","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
