The Hellenistic world, ushered into existence in 323 b.c.e. through
the conquests of Alexander the Great, stretched from India in the
east to Sicily in the west. Within this vast region, society was
multicultural, but the dominant culture was that of the Greeks (who
called themselves Hellenes). The Hellenistic Age carried on the
legacy of classical Greece in the visual arts, literature, science,
technology, religion, and urban daily life. In Daily Life in the
Hellenistic Age, James Allan Evans guides the reader through the
vast conquered lands of the shortlived Hellenistic empire and its
successor kingdoms. In lively narrative chapters, Evans explores
such topics as marriage customs; women in Hellenistic societies;
festivals, sports, and spectacles; symposia (drinking parties); the
agricultural and commercial components of the polis (city-state);
food and drink; education; science and technology; and the legacy
of the Hellenistic age in the modern world. This revised and
updated paperback edition includes two maps.
