Situated on the western coast of Caria near the Latmic Gulf at the mouth of the Mæander and the terminus of several of the great roads of Asia Minor, Miletus was for a long period one of the most prosperous cities of the ancient world. At first inhabited by the Leleges and called Lelegeis or Pityussa, it was rebuilt under the name of Miletus by the Cretans (Strabo, XIV, i, 3). It is mentioned by Homer (Iliad, II, 868). About the tenth century B. C. the Ionians occupied it, and made it a maritime and commercial power of the first rank. From it numerous colonies were founded along the Hellespont, the Propontis, and the Black Sea, among others Cyzicus and Sinope. Miletus also had its period of literary glory with the philosophers Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, the historians Hecatæus and Cadmus, the rhetorician Æschines, and the writer of tales, Aristides.

Extractions: Here's an article I published in HAGIA SOPHIA: THE PERFECT SPACE Drafty, sombre, aged, dank, lofty, glorious. In summer cool as marble, in winter cold as snow. On a hot Istanbul afternoon, Hagia Sophia is an oasis of cool silence broken only by the spiel and patter of the multilingual guides. Their flocks of curious Europeans, Americans, Japanese and Greeks feel what the guides by this time ignore: awe. It is the awe not of religion, for Hagia Sophia is neither church nor mosque any longer. The awe is of age, of history, and of miraculous architecture. Hagia Sophia is an experience in space and time, and the architects' magic still works after more than fourteen centuries. Here, for the first time, the basilica's classic rectangle was widened to a square and topped with an immense flattened dome . So ambitious were the architects, Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of Miletus , that the dome had to be made from special hollowed bricks shaped from a particularly light clay found only on the island of Rhodes. The huge pillars which support the dome are effectively hidden in the north and south walls of the nave.

FOCUS On Hagia Sophia (History) The two most famous architects of the age; anthemius of tralles (Aydin) and Isidorusof Miletus, were entrusted with the construction of the building. http://www.focusmm.com/civilization/hagia/history.htm
Extractions: A lthough there are no artifacts confirming it, it is said that Hagia Sophia was built on the site of an ancient pagan temple. Hagia Sophia underwent two phases of construction before attaining its present state. D ocuments indicate that the first Hagia Sophia was built by Emperor Constantius, son of Emperor Constantinos I, and was opened for services in 360 AD. Although very little is known about this church, it is assumed that it was a basilica-type structure with a rectangular floor plan, circular apse and timbered roof. It was similar to St.Studios, a basilica in Istanbul , the ruins of which still exist. Ancient sources emphasize that the eastern wall was circular. C onstantius donated gold and silver as well as religious objects to his church, but these were vandalized by Arians during the Council of 381 AD. H agia Sophia was first named "Megale Ekklesia" (The Great Church) as it was the largest church in Constantinople. The historian Socrates indicated that the church was named Sophia during the reign of Emperor Constantius. The name given to the church symbolized the second divine attribute of the Holy Trinity. Originally, Sophia, which means "Holy Wisdom", was a name given to Christ by 4th century theologians. Both names, Megale Ekklesia and Hagia Sophia are used today. T he original church was destroyed in 404 AD by mobs, during the riots, when Emperor Arcadius sent the Patriarch of Constantinople, John Chrysostom, into exile for his open criticism of the Empress.

Detail of the mosaic in the lunette over the south doorway showing Justinian who presents a model of the church of Hagia Sophia to the Virgin and Child. T he church of Hagia Sophia, associated with one of the greatest creative ages of man, had also been identified with the Ecumenical Patriarchate for more than one thousand years. The church of Hagia Sophia is believed to have been founded by Constantine the Great. The initial building was erected over the ruins of an ancient temple of Apollo, situated on a hill commanding a magnificent view of the Sea of Marmara. The Second Ecumenical Council was convened in Hagia Sophia in 381, during the reign of Theodosius I (378-395). Some twenty years later, on 20 June 404, the people angered by the banishment of John Chrysostom burned down the church . Rebuilt by Theodosius 11 (408-450) and consecrated in 415, the church was again burnt to the ground by the rioting crowds during the Nika Revolt (15 January 532). After the repression of the frightful revolt, Justinian conceived the grandiose project of rebuilding the Great Church from its foundations. This time it was to be built on plans well in advance of the times, using new daring vaulting techniques and statics. The men for the task were available. The mathematician Anthemius of Tralles and the architect Isidorus of Miletus worked with imagination and scientific accuracy to create a new design and build a masterpiece that stands unique throughout the centuries. Nothing like it was ever built before or after.

Extractions: Introduction During the High Renaissance the passionate sculpture of Michelangelo Buornarroti brought life to inanimate marble and he along with his contemporaries, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael Sanzio, created apparently living breathing individuals within carefully scripted enigmatic and intellectually complex scenes. Shortly thereafter the exuberant motion and tension Peter Paul Ruebens in Flanders creates and the emotions of the private man Rembrandt van Rijn in Holland shows us reveal the inner physic state of the individuals portrayed. I, myself, am a avid follower of the Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movement. I succumb to love of creating things with my own two hands. I feel the handcrafted woodwork, glasswork, ironwork, brickwork, fabrics and ceramics combined with the methods of production and the buildings in which much of the handiwork came to life associated itself with and harmonized with the natural environment.

Extractions: HAGHIA SOPHIA We must begin by explaining the origin of the name. Sophia, the name of a street dancer, a courtesane who became empress, has nothing to do with the name of this cathedral, which is taken from the Greek. Sophia meaning “wisdom" to which is added the adjective «Saint», to form the phrase "Divine Wisdom”. It is said that Constantine built a church on the site of the present Saint Sophia in 325; surer sources have it that his son founded a sanctuary there in 360. This was destroyed by Eire in 404 and Theodosius II had it rebuilt in 415; but in the course of revolutions which shook the throne and divided the nation into two warring factions the Greens and the Blues, the temple was razed to the ground. It was then that Justinian decided to have a masterpiece, a work of unparalleled magnificence erected on this site. On February 29, 532, after a period of 39 days, he set his seal on the first stone of his new sanctuary.

Hagia Sophia In Istanbul, Turkey now serves the world as a famous museum in Istanbul was rebuilt under Emperor Justinian(532537) by his imperial architects anthemius of tralles and Isidorus http://www.monolithic.com/thedome/hagiasophia/
Extractions: Enlarge Socrates (380-440), the official chronicler of church history, credited the construction of the original Hagia Sophia in 360 to Emperor Constantine I (324-337). Apparently, Constantine I, known as "the Great," first made Christianity his state religion, then began building huge Christian churches throughout Byzantium. One of those was Hagia Sophia whose name means "holy wisdom." Nearly 200 years later, fires and riots destroyed that original edifice. The Hagia Sophia that now serves the world as a famous museum in Istanbul was rebuilt under Emperor Justinian (532-537) by his imperial architects Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of Miletus. Unfortunately, severe earthquakes destroyed their dome, so it had to be rebuilt again in 563, but on a somewhat higher curve. Enlarge Many consider Hagia Sophia the supreme masterpiece of Byzantine architecture. A lofty central dome, 102 feet in diameter and 184 feet in height, spans its spacious nave. That dome sits on pendentives or supporting arches at the corners of a square that make the transition to a circular plan possible. The arches at the east and west are extended and buttressed by great half-domes. Those half-domes rest on smaller, semi domed exedras or porticos. Consequently, the huge main dome is really a succession of smaller domes.
