Description
Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Age A Short History by Peter Green. This concise history explores three centuries of transformation in the ancient world. It begins with Alexander's remarkable life and achievements, followed by an examination of the violent struggles among his successors as they fought over his vast empire. The period that follows is marked by significant cultural developments, including a shift from oral to written traditions, a growing emphasis on individualism, and a widening gap between rich and poor. As the Hellenistic Age unfolded, luxury and excess became increasingly prevalent, while innovation was stifled by the abundance of slave labour. This complex era saw many pivotal events that shaped the course of history. Green's masterful narrative provides a clear and engaging overview of this fascinating period.
