There were 12 cities including Miletus.
Of the many cities marked on this old map those in the Confederacy were, from North to South:
Phocaea Smyrna Erythrae Clazomenae Teos Lebedus Colophon Ephesus Priene Miletus and the two islands Chios and Samos>
I have chosen this old map despite the changes in coastlines since the 1880s as it clearly shows the mountain ranges and rivers in the area. Also as many of you have probably noticed when looking into the geography of the region modern maps tend to show the Greek or Turkish names but not both or show the Turkish and only mark the archaeological sites unless they are major or give you the impression the nearest modern Turkish village or town is a short walk away when its not!
More on this next time.
