Resum

Asia Minor was for the greeks a foreign and far place, despite its apparent geographical closeness and the frequent contacts with the reigns of Phrygia and Lidia during the archaic period. Only Herodotus’histories provides us with a partial view of its landscapes and peoples, mainly issued from the knowlwdge of military expeditions in this land. This was a privileged medium for a detailed information on inner Anatolian geography, such as it was the case with Xenophon´s Anabasis. This case is a good example for the general conditions and lack of resources that characterize the Greek view of foreign lands.
