The Greek World After Alexander 323-30 BC - 323 - 30 bc (Hardcover)

In this survey of the Hellenistic world, Graham Shipley integrates the diverse aspects of politics, society and culture which have previously been treated separately. The text examines social changes in the old and new cities of the Greek world and in the new post-Alexandrian kingdoms, within the context of a late-20th century appraisal of the momentous military and political changes after the era of Alexander. It also considers developments in literature, religion, philosophy, and science and establishes how far they are presented as radical departures from the culture of Classical Greece or were continuous developments from it. Finally, Graham Shipley explores the culture of the Hellenistic world in the context of the social divisions between an educated elite and a general population at once more mobile and less involved in the political life of the Greek city.
