The goal was to celebrate the 24 centuries which have elapsed since its foundation and the beginning of the Library and the Museum of Alexandria. The conference was divided into two parts, to include in the first part archaeology, history, philosophy, literature, art, culture and legal issues and in the second part science, medicine, technology and environment. A total of 28 original and peer-reviewed articles point to the importance of the brilliantly-original ideas that emerged during the Hellenistic age and the curious modernity of the whole atmosphere of the time. The range of presented topics covers a variety of new data on the foundation of Alexandria to comparison between Ptolemaic Alexandria and Ptolemaic Greece through philosophy, culture and drama to the forgotten revolution of science, medicine and the prevailing climatological and geophysical conditions throughout the Hellenistic Period.Civilizationfast(OCoLC)fst00862898Archäologische StättegndHellenismusgndAlexandria (Egypt)CivilizationCongressesEgyptAlexandriafastAlexandriagndAlexandria (Egypt)CivilizationCongressesnliConference papers and proceedings.fastKonferenzschrift2017Athen.gndCivilization.Archäologische Stätte.Hellenismus.932.102Zerefos Christos S1745154Vardinoyannis Marianna V1745155MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910854296903321Hellenistic Alexandria4335072UNINA
