Lydia was situated in the Western part of Asia Minor, on the river Galis, with its main city Sardis. 
It was first mentioned by Homer already in the 8th century B.C. under the name Maeonia. It was celebrated 
for fertile soil, rich deposits of gold and silver. Lydia became most powerful under the dynasty of the 
Mermnadae, beginning about 685 BC. In the 6th century BC Lydian conquests transformed the kingdom into an 
empire. Under the rule of King Croesus, Lydia attained its greatest splendor. The empire came to an end, 
however, when the Persian ruler Cyrus the Great captured Sardis about 546 BC and incorporated Lydia into 
the Persian Empire. After the defeat of Persia by Alexander III, king of Macedonia, Lydia was brought under
Greek - Macedonian control. Soon after that, Lydians were assimilated by Greeks, Greek language and Greek 
culture, and though Strabo in the 1st century A.D. talks about Lydians as an ethnos, they did not have much
of their original language at that moment.
