Abstract
The article deals with the specifi c features of Greek patriotism in the history of Ionia of the 8th – 6th centuries BC. The aristocratic nature of power in the Ionian communities, semi-barbarian origin of the ruling elite, which had political, friend and matrimonial ties with the aristocracy of the eastern neighbors is a distinctive feature of the social and ethno-political identity of the Ionian policies. It was refl ected in the concept of polis patriotism and collaboration with the enemies and in political practices of the Ionians. At the beginning of the Archaic period the Ionians’ patriotism was associated with activity of Pan-Ionian military-political alliance. By the 6th century BC the political development and status of each Ionian polis in relations with the eastern states gave the individualism in needs and interests of each state separately. All this caused the lack of unity and solidarity among the Ionian states in the course of the Ionian revolt, the pragmatism in relations with Lydia and the Achaemenids. The author does not determine these facts as a betrayal or collaboration, and considers them as a special manifestation of the Ionian polis patriotism.
