Kolophon, Ionia, c. 360 - 294 B.C.
After the death of Alexander the Great, Perdiccas expelled the Athenian settlers on Samos to Kolophon. Antigonus controlled Kolophon until general Prepelaus sized the area for Lysimachus in 302 B.C. Lysimachus destroyed Kolophon (and Lebedos) and forced the survivors to emigrate to Ephesos. After Lysimachus' death in 281, Kolophon was reestablished, but it never fully recovered.GB59682.
