The contributors to this volume seek to decipher the Hellenistic
citizens' views on vital elements of their society: the city, the
ruler, religion, magic and astrology, everyday life and social
relations (family and gender), morality, uses of the past, and the
iconography of death. How did the changes in political and social
ideas affect actions and practices, which in turn again altered
concepts? Moreover, the authors distinguish between the views of
the common people and the elite, the evidence from inscriptions
(seen as popular sentiment) and the evidence from literature (from
the elite). The authors' conclusions have broad ramifications for
future scholars in a field that has not hitherto received much
attention. This volume is essential reading on the early
development of individualism and the history of ideas.
