Description

The conquest of Alexander the Great was a catalyst for change throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, opening up new spaces for interaction between Greek and non-Greek cultures. In exploring these, this volume reassesses the concepts of 'Hellenism' and 'Hellenization' and their usefulness for understanding cultural exchange in this region and era.
