Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Hellenism and the Local Communities of the Eastern Mediterranean offers a timely re-examination of the relationship between Greek and non-Greek cultures in this region between 400 BCE and 250 CE. The conquests of Alexander the Great and his Successors not only radically reshaped the political landscape, but also significantly accelerated cultural change: in recent decades there has been an important historiographical emphasis on the study of the non-Greekcultures of the Eastern Mediterranean, but less focus on how Greek cultural elements became increasingly visible. Although the process of cross-cultural interaction differed greatly across Asia Minor, Egypt, theLevant, and Mesopotamia, the same overarching questions apply: why did the non-Greek communities of the Eastern Mediterranean engage so closely with Greek cultural forms as well as political practices, and how did this engagement translate into their daily lives? In exploring the versatility and adaptability of Greek political structures, such as the polis, and the ways in which Greek and non-Greek cultures interacted in fields such as medicine, literature, and art, the essays in thisvolume aim to provide new insight into these questions. At the same time, they prompt a re-interrogation of the process of Hellenization, exploring whether it is still a useful concept for explaining andunderstanding the dynamics of cultural exchange in the Eastern Mediterranean of this period. 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.
