| Résumé : |
This Companion volume offers fifteen original essays on the Hellenistic world and is intended to complement and supplement general histories of the period from Alexander the Great to Kleopatra VII of Egypt. Each chapter treats a different aspect of the Hellenistic world - religion, philosophy, family, economy, material culture, and military campaigns, among other topics. The essays address key questions about this period: To what extent were Alexander's conquests responsible for the creation of this new 'Hellenistic' age? What is the essence of this world and how does it differ from its Classical predecessor? What continuities and discontinuities can be identified? Collectively, the essays provide an in-depth view of a complex world. The volume also provides abibliography on the topics along with recommendations for further reading. ### Review "this volume offers essays that are mostly of excellent quality...Its coverage, quality, and the contrasts drawn by its authors will certainly help to articulate future directions and, more importantly, will do so in a way accessible to its intended audience." --Jennifer Gates-Foster, University of Texas: New England Classical Journal ### Book Description This offers original essays on the Hellenistic world and is intended to complement and supplement histories of the period from Alexander the Great to Kleopatra VII of Egypt.
