This study of hellenization focuses on the life of Mausolus (best known for his elaborate Greek tomb, the original "Mausoleum"), and his family, who were fourth-century B.C. Persian governors of Karia in S.W. Asia Minor. Recent archaeological finds and newly discovered inscriptions help bring alive this fascinating dynasty whose members, though native Karians, actively diffused Greek culture through their corner of Anatolia in the two generations before Alexander.
