He asks what this tells us about their Greek education, their contacts with Classical culture in general, and about the societies in which Philo and Josephus lived. Although Philo in Alexandria and Josephus in Jerusalem both had the possibility to acquire a thorough knowledge of Greek language and culture, they show very different attitudes. Philo, who was probably admitted to the gymnasium, often and enthusiastically refers to Greek poets and philosophers. Josephus on the other hand rarely quotes from their works, giving evidence of a more traditionalistic tendencies among Jewish nobility in Jerusalem. 410 0$aStudies in Philo of Alexandria ;$v9. 606 $aGreek literature 606 $aPhilosophers$zGreece 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGreek literature. 615 0$aPhilosophers 676 $a933.05092 700 $aKoskenniemi$b Erkki$0850934 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910478869003321 996 $aGreek writers and philosophers in Philo and Josephus$91899928 997 $aUNINA
