Hellenistic Alexandria: Celebrating 24 Centuries' presents the
proceedings of a conference held at the Acropolis Museum in Athens,
on December 13-15, 2017, and includes high-level dialogues and
philosophical discussions between international experts on
Hellenistic Alexandria. The goal was to celebrate the 24 centuries
which have elapsed since its foundation and the beginning of the
Library and the Museum of Alexandria. The conference was divided
into two parts, to include in the first part archaeology, history,
philosophy, literature, art, culture and legal issues and in the
second part science, medicine, technology and environment. A total
of 28 original and peer-reviewed articles point to the importance
of the brilliantly-original ideas that emerged during the
Hellenistic age and the curious modernity of the whole atmosphere
of the time. The range of presented topics covers a variety of new
data on the foundation of Alexandria to comparison between
Ptolemaic Alexandria and Ptolemaic Greece through philosophy,
culture and drama to the forgotten revolution of science, medicine
and the prevailing climatological and geophysical conditions
throughout the Hellenistic Period. The conference and its
proceedings were co-sponsored by the arianna V. Vardinoyannis
Foundation, the Acropolis Museum, the Alexandria Center for
Hellenistic Studies at Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the
Mariolopoulos-Kanaginis Foundation for the Environmental Sciences.
The Publication also celebrates the 10th anniversary of the
Alexandria Center for Hellenistic Studies, a joint collaboration
between the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the Vardinoyannis Foundation
and the University of Alexandria. Scholars from around the world
follow the Center's programme in various specialisations, ranging
from historyliterature- art, to archaeology and
architecture-philosophy, and science.
