The Cambridge Companion to
THE HELLENISTIC WORLD
S
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 the
most recent bibliography on the topics along with recommendations
for further reading.
Glenn R. Bugh is associate professor of ancient and Byzantine history

School of Classical Studies. He is the author of The Horsemen of Athens.
