ἀγχοῦ: quite 100 miles from Miletus, but well placed half way between Ionia and Greece.

τὰς ἐκ ταύτης ἠρτημένας: implies political as well as geographical connexion. The Cyclades, the summits of a submerged mountain chain, are divided by but narrow channels of water. This Naxian hegemony may possibly have been established by Lygdamis (i. 64) with the aid of Pisistratus and Polycrates (cf. App. xvi); Myres would, however, connect the thalassocracy of Naxos (515-505 B. C.) with the prosperous (ch. 28) commercial oligarchy established after the fall of the tyrant (J. H. S. xxvi. 98).
