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 a bibliography on the topics along with recommendations for further reading. 410 0$aCambridge companions to the ancient world. 606 $aHellenism 607 $aMediterranean Region$xHistory$yTo 476 607 $aGreece$xHistory$y281-146 B.C 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yMacedonian Hegemony, 323-281 B.C 615 0$aHellenism. 676 $a938/.08 686 $a15.51$2bcl 702 $aBugh$b Glenn Richard$f1948- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201141103316 996 $aCambridge companion to the Hellenistic world$9728685 997 $aUNISA
