Ionians - Ionians (English spelling)

Japanese: イオニア人 - イオニアじん(英語表記)Iōnes; Ionians
Ionians - Ionians (English spelling)
A tribe of ancient Greeks. They spoke an Ionian dialect and lived in Ionia in Asia Minor, on the islands in the central Aegean Sea, Euboea, and Attica. They are mentioned only once in Homeric poetry, but became especially important after the central part of the west coast of Asia Minor became known as Ionia. Although the ancient tradition that Athens was the mother city of all Ionians is false, there is some truth in the fact that the Athenians systematically expanded into Ionia. The Ionians founded the first colony (Apoikia) on the Black Sea coast around 750 BCE, ahead of the Dorian states on the mainland, and further colonies on the islands of Aenaria and Pithecus in the Bay of Naples, opening the way to the West. They were also the first to colonize Sicily. They developed rapidly both economically and culturally, and the term Ionians became the general term for Greeks in the Orient.

Japanese:
古代ギリシア人の一種族。イオニア方言を話し,小アジアのイオニア地方,エーゲ海中部の島々,エウボイア,アッチカなどに住んだ。ホメロスの詩には1度出てくるだけだが,小アジア西岸の中央部がイオニアとして知られるようになってから特に重要になった。アテネが全イオニア人の母市であるという,古くからの伝承はあたらないとしても,アテネ人がイオニアへの進出を組織的に行なったことはある程度真実らしい。イオニア人は前 750年頃から本土のドーリス人諸国家にさきがけて,黒海沿岸に最初の植民市 (アポイキア ) を建設,さらにナポリ湾のアエナリア島,ピテクサ島などに植民市を築き,西方への道を開いた。シチリア島に最初の植民を行なったのも彼らであった。経済的,文化的にも急速に発展し,イオニア人とはオリエント世界ではギリシア人の総称となった。
