Abstract
La guerre civile en Ionie, causée par l'impérialisme athénien du milieu du Ve siècle avant J.-C, écartelait souvent les cités ioniennes. Tandis que la faction temporairement victorieuse (oligarchique, démocratique pro-perse) tenait le noyau urbain de la cité (l'asty), la faction adverse s'organisait dans la chora, ou lorsqu'il s'agissait de cités insulaires, sur les territoires de la pérée. La frontière ionienne est redéfinie comme un espace physique dans lequel des groupes culturels (impérialistes athéniens ou perses, en plus des entités socio-politico-économiques ioniennes, chacun avec des identités distinctes) entrent en conflit. La frontière était par conséquent une zone large et changeante, fruit des antagonismes entre Athéniens, Perses, Spartiates, Grecs d'Ionie (urbains ou ruraux), populations indigènes.
Civil strife in Ionia, generated by Athenian imperialism during the middle years of the fifth century B.C., often divided an Ionian polis. While the successful if only temporary ruling faction (oligarchic, democratic, or pro-Persian medizing) held the polis' central urban node (the asty), the faction in rivalry for political control organized either in the rural districts (the chora) or in the case of island poleis in the mainland rural territories. The Ionian frontier is redefined as a physical space in which cultural groups (Athenian and Persian imperial, in addition to Ionian socio-politico-economic units, each with distinct identities) came into conflict. The frontier, therefore, was a broad and shifting zone of Athenian, Persian, and Spartan antagonists and the Ionian Greeks (urban and rural) and local indigenous enclaves.
