A Social and Cultural History of the Hellenistic World (Wiley Blackwell Social and Cultural Histories of the Ancient World)

By: Gillian Ramsey Neugebauer

"The Hellenistic world is, in its broadest sense, every region and time period impinged upon by the presence and influence of ancient Greek culture. Geographically, it traverses the entire Mediterranean, the Balkans, around the Black Sea, across North Africa and the Near East as far as the Indian subcontinent, and possibly beyond. Chronologically, it extends throughout Classical antiquity, as long as Greek literature and scholarship remained formative within cultures and ways of knowing. All this makes for a large world, not so distant from our own."-- Provided by publisher.
