GOES FAR BACK IN HISTORY
Smyrna, One of the Oldest Cities Of
the World, Has Little of Its
Glories Left.

Smyrna. one of the seven cities of
the Christian church in Asia Minor,
claims to be one of the oldest cities
in the world. Its known history runs
back TO 5000 b. c. and it may have
flourished in the unrecorded ages be-
fore that remote time. Charles Dudley
Warner says of it:
"One of the most ancient cities on
TIE globe, Il has no antiquity; con-
tanning all nationalities 1t has no
nationality; it is an Aslatic city with
European face; it produces nothing,
ii exchanges everything"
The Aeolians preceded the Greeks,
who made it an eastern center of early
culture. 1t had declined and all but
fallen when Alexander, after taking
Sardis, released 1t from the yoke of
the Lydians, and. acting upon sug-
gestion said to have come to him In
n dream, decided to restore 1t. 1t also
fell under Roman. Mongol. and finally,
Turkish domination.
1t was under the Lydlans that II
was split into series of communities,
which effectively tied its political and
military hands, so that II cut little
figure in the golden era of Hellenic
culture. The new Smyrna, rebuilt by
Alexander, was moved about three
miles south of the older site. 1t is
200 miles southwest of Constantinople.
1t is one of the seven cities that lays
claim to Homer, whose identity with
the older Smyrna seems very well
founded because the Meles river, with
its cave nearby that formed the
Homerlc "den and study" flowed lazily
by the ancient city, though its waters
since have been diverted to other and
disputed channels.
