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.
