About Miletus
A major ancient Greek city located where the Meander River meets the sea (in southwestern Asia Minor).
People from Crete first built this city between 1339 and 1288 BC. The city became part of the Hittite Empire. Archaeological discoveries show that after being destroyed by fire, the people built a protective wall around Miletus in the 13th century BC.
