Practically the only remaining object of unusual interest is theater, the largest in Asia Minor, which was not built in a hollow of the hillside, as most ancient theaters were, but in the open field. Miletus has been so ruined that its plan can no longer be made out. The direct journey may now be made by land. This is what Paul's messenger probably did. The River Maiandros had its headwaters the highlands of southern Phrygia and, flowing west through Karia, entered the Aegean Sea opposite the town of Miletos (Miletus). To go directly from one of these cities to the other, one would have been obliged to cross the gulf by boat and then continue by land. Transliteration Maiandros Latin Spelling Maeandrus, Maeander Translation River Meander MAIANDROS (Maeander) was a river-god of Karia (Caria) in Anatolia (modern Turkey). Without taking into account the great changes in the coast line it would be difficult to understand Acts 20:15-21, for in the days of Paul, Ephesus could be reached from Miletus by land only by making a long detour about the head of the gulf. ![]() In the ancient gulf stood a little island called Lade the island now appears as a mound in the marshy malarial plain, and Palatia, the modern village which stands on the site of Miletus, is 6 miles from the coast. The gulf into which the river flows has thus been nearly filled with the deposit. The Meander brings down a considerable amount of sediment which it has deposited at its mouth, naturally altering the coast line. In the history of early Christianity it plays but a little part. In 494 B.C., the city was taken by the Persians it was recovered by Alexander the Great, but after his time it rapidly declined, yet it continued to exist until long after the Christian era. Among them were Abydos, Cyzicus and Sinope. In the earliest times it was a prominent trading post, and it is said that 75 colonies were founded by its merchants. 1 Origin of term 2 Meander geometry 3 Formation 3.1 Stochastic theory 3.2 Equilibrium theory 3.3 Geomorphic and morphotectonic theory 4 Associated landforms 4.1 Slip-off slope 4.2 River-cut cliff 4.3 Erosion mechanics 4.4 Deposits 4.4.1 Incised meanders 4.4.2 Oxbow lakes 4.4.3 Abandoned meander (rincon) 4.4.

Such curves are called meanders, after a winding stream in Turkey known in ancient Greek times as the Maiandros and today as the Menderes. ![]() ![]() Works beautifully with all the locks (besides the Babylocks, Chubby Babylocks, Boltlocks, Boomerang Locks, and Crosslocks). This chain can be made in Sterling Silver. The river Meander had a very convoluted path. Mêtis stands for resourcefulness, practical effectiveness and experiential wisdom. The meander is an important symbol of the eternal flow of things. Meandering holds much in common with mêtis, a term describing practical, even cunning, intelligence in ancient Greek culture. Works on any of our chains but we love it particularly on our Rolo Chain and Biker Chain for the contrast.ġ8k Gold and Platinum are available by request.Ī meander or Greek key design takes its name from the river Meander, a river with many twists and turns. The Meander Lock measures 2cm x 2cm, body has a thickness of 2.7mm, closure has a thickness of 6.6mm The design is made up of a long, continuous line that repeatedly folds back on itself, mimicking the ancient Meander River of Asia Minor with its many twists and turns. Meander refers to a "Greek Key" design and is in its most basic form a linear pattern.
