The Cimmerians return to Sardis ten years …
Years: 645BCE - 634BCE
The Cimmerians return to Sardis ten years later during the reign of Gyges' son Ardys II; this time they capture the city, with the exception of the citadel.
The Cimmerians have attained the summit of their power.
The fall of Sardis is a major shock to the powers of the region; the Greek poets Callinus and Archilochus record the fear that it inspired in the Greek colonies of Ionia.
