Purchase options and add-ons

The Greek World After Alexander 323–30 BC examines social changes in the old and new cities of the Greek world and in the new post-Alexandrian kingdoms.

An appraisal of the momentous military and political changes after the era of Alexander, this book considers developments in literature, religion, philosophy, and science, and establishes how far they are presented as radical departures from the culture of Classical Greece or were continuous developments from it.

Graham Shipley explores the culture of the Hellenistic world in the context of the social divisions between an educated elite and a general population at once more mobile and less involved in the political life of the Greek city.

If you had to pick one book to read on the Hellenistic Age....
Reviewed in the United States on 30 April 2017
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
The Hellenistic period (a term coined in the 19th century), that slice of time in the Classical World between the death of Alexander and the conquests of Rome, has seen a rise of interest over the past 40 years. Once relegated to a single chapter in traditional histories of Ancient Greece and treated as a period of anarchy and decadence, books on Hellenistic history now flourish, presenting a more complex, interesting view of the time than previously reported in history books. There are now plenty of books on the Hellenistic age. For example:
In the English language, the modern magnum opus is undoubtedly Peter Green’s scholarly "From Alexander to Actium: The Historical Evolution of the Hellenistic Age", with nearly 700 pages of text and almost 300 pages of timelines, family trees, scholarly notes, and bibliography. It covers a multitude of topics, too many to even list. Green wanted to present a current-state-of-knowledge on the period by synthesizing the work of many specialists into a coherent picture, but written without the usual academic jargon and grammar that deadens so many scholarly works. This is a book for the serious student or instructor of ancient history.
If you have less time to invest, there is "Hellenistic Civilization" by François Chamoux (translated from the French). Like Green, Chamoux’s book (coming in under 400 pages) covers several topics. It includes a timeline, a handy glossary, and chapter end-notes. The book can be read by a general reader interested in history, though it is clearly designed for a college-level history class. However, this English version has been criticized for several problems with the translation. I found it readable, though a bit stilted in its translation.
James Romm’s “Ghost on the Throne” focuses specifically on the intrigues and battles of Alexander’s generals (the so-called Diadochoi, or Successors), following Alexander’s untimely death. So it is a book very limited in time and scope. One of this book’s chief advantages is that Romm writes history with the flair of a page-turning thriller. You might forget you are reading history and instead, reading an ancient Greek version of Game of Thrones.
And there are books on the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the Seleucid Empire, and the Attilids, to say nothing of Hellenistic philosophy, literature, and science. So do we need yet another book? Has the Hellenistic age simply become the latest fad for ancient historians? I think not. Instead, I think historians have begun to build a clearer picture of the vitality, complexity, diversity, and ongoing mysteries. Much of this is due, not only to changes in scholarly approach, but to advances in archaeology, textual studies, numismatics, and other specialized areas. This is quite an accomplishment, considering that there are virtually no surviving contemporary histories from the period, save for Polybius, whose main subject was actually Rome. So we come at last to Shipley.
Graham Shipley’s "The Greek World After Alexander" covers not simply the military and political issues of this time, but like other historians, provides a survey of the time. It is a very readable account. The book has the usual scholarly appendages (end notes, bibliography, chronological table, further readings). In addition to its readability, Shipley trots out historical evidence within the main text for citation and discussion, not simply referencing it in a footnote. Thus, we get an idea of what historians have to work with and what can be said.
This book encapsulates a variety of topics by chapter, rather than sticking to a simple chronological approach. A singular chronological approach could make understanding individual topics (e.g. religion, science, Ptolemaic Egypt) more difficult for us to grasp. Still, Shipley puts in chronological sections throughout the book. The book is a well-written work of historical scholarship that provides as good a survey for the non-specialist as you could ask for. It doesn't read like a fast-paced thriller, but such a style would not work in a book like this. "The Greek World After Alexander" is also not meant to compete with the overwhelming detail of "Alexander to Actium" (in point of fact, Green has also written several shorter books on this period). And it is definitely not "Hellenistic History for Dummies." But "The Greek World After Alexander" is an excellent answer to the question “If I had to pick one book to read about the Hellenistic Age, which one would it be?”

I’m in a classics BA and have been reading about the Hellenistic world in various introductions. This is the most readable and pitched best for both the interested average reader and someone in the field just starting with the period.

For a serious studier, I would suggest reading this along with Michel Austin’s sourcebook for the Hellenistic period.
