xiii, p. 139.
■^ See Hogarth's "Ionia,'' p. loi. So far as Caria was concerned it was possibly indigenous. Sir C. Fellows noted at Mylesa the constant occurrence of the symbol of the ''double axe.'' It is found also on coins as an attribute of Zeus. See " Asia Minor and Lycia " (1852), p. 277.
CHAr. ivj THE DORIANS AS BUILDERS 6i into contact with, and been modified by a still more primaeval civilization from the eastern hinterland: — by traditions of an old Chaldean culture percolating west- w...ard through Cappadocia and the great Hittite domains; and by the far reaching influence of Egypt transmitted through Syria and by sea-intercourse with Cyprus or Rhodes.' Whatever the assimilative process may have been it is evident that the transition from wood to stone must have taken place concurrently in Greece and Ionia, and there are signs that in regard to some architectural forms Ionia must have taken the lead and reacted upon the art of the motherland. The terms Doric and Ionic as used in archi- tecture are far from having a merely technical significance, for whilst the evidence of the origin and evolution of Doric is chiefly found in Greece itself and its western colonies, the sources of Ionic architecture appear to be, so far as decorative features are concerned, mainly Asiatic.
