The Greek World After Alexander 323-30 BC - 323 - 30 bc (Paperback, New)

In this comprehensive and well-documented book, Graham Shipley integrates the diverse aspects of politics, society and culture to create a coherent and thorough survey of the Hellenistic world.
The Greek World After Alexander examines social changes in the cities of the Greek world and in the kingdoms that succeeded Alexander's empire. The investigation is set in the context of an up-to-date appraisal of the momentous military and political changes that took place after Alexander's reign. Graham Shipley's ground-breaking study also considers developments in literature, religion, philosophy and science, establishing whether they departed radically from Classical Greek culture or developed continuously from it. In addition, he explores the divisions in Hellenistic culture separating an educated elite from the general population which was more mobile than before but perhaps less involved in city politics.
