====Lydian rule==== About 700 BC [[Gyges of Lydia|Gyges]], first Mermnad king of [[Lydia]], invaded the territories of Smyrna and Miletus, and is said to have taken Colophon. His son [[Ardys of Lydia|Ardys]] conquered Priene. In the middle of the 7th century, the [[Cimmerians|Cimmerii]] ravaged a great part of Asia Minor, including Lydia, and sacked [[Magnesia on the Maeander]], but were defeated when they attacked Ephesus. It was not until the reign of [[Croesus]] (560β545 BC) that the cities of Ionia fell completely under Lydian rule.<ref name="Ionia"/>
