The Hellenistic period was a time of unprecedented cultural
exchange. In the wake of Alexander's conquests, Greeks and
Macedonians began to encounter new peoples, new ideas, and new ways
of life; consequently, this era is generally considered to have
been one of unmatched cosmopolitanism. For many individuals,
however, the broadening of horizons brought with it an identity
crisis and a sense of being adrift in a world that had undergone a
radical structural change. Belonging and Isolation in the
Hellenistic World presents essays by leading international scholars
who consider how the cosmopolitanism of the Hellenistic age also
brought about tensions between individuals and communities, and
between the small local community and the mega-community of
oikoumene, or 'the inhabited earth.' With a range of social,
artistic, economic, political, and literary perspectives, the
contributors provide a lively exploration of the tensions and
opportunities of life in the Hellenistic Mediterranean.
