From Mesopotamia to Central Asia, regions in central Eurasia in the Hellenistic period are often viewed, presented, and imbued with meaning as 'places in between' – cultural melting pots, resulting from a fusion of Eastern and Western cultures after Alexander the Great. Milinda Hoo critically explores scholarly understandings of cultural inbetweenness in the regions of Baktria, Parthia, and Babylonia in the third to first centuries BCE, focusing on the diverse ways in which the model of Hellenism has been used to make historical meaning out of eclectic material culture. The sites of Ai Khanum, Takht-i Sangin, Old Nisa, Seleukeia on the Tigris, and Babylon serve as core case studies to investigate perceptions of Hellenism in places that are considered culturally 'inbetween'. These form the foundation for a new translocal approach, based on globalization concepts, to better and more critically understand what we consider as Hellenism and localism in the East.

The three centuries following the conquests of Alexander were perhaps the most thrilling of all periods of ancient history. Culture, ideas, and individuals travelled freely over vast areas from the Rhone to the Indus, whilst dynasts battled for dominion over Alexander's great empire. Thonemann presents a brief history of this globalized world.

While Jewish Palestine has been at the focus of scholarly interest, Greek Palestine has not yet received similar attention. This e-book attempts to investigate the intellectual life in that country in the Hellenistic world and in the Roman Empire. The two perspectives taken are a full prosopographical survey of Greek intellectuals in ancient Palestine and an in-depth study of the Greek intellectuals in one particular city, Ascalon. A survey of the penetration of Latin among the educated Greek-speaking inhabitants of the country concludes the e-book.Joseph Geiger (DPhil Oxon, Shalom Horowitz Pr

Some of the texts gathered in this book were produced for the international event "Hellenistic Historiography: new theoretical-methodological approaches", held at DLCV / FFLCH / USP and MAE / USP between September 15 and 16, 2016. Both the event and the book problematize by their formats, the very notion of "Hellenism" in which they are based: both take it in the broad chronological sense as proposed by Droysen in the Vorrede of 1836, that is, a period of antiquity which would extend approximately from the death of Alexander in 323 BC until the founding of Constantinople in 330 BC.

In a 1988 conference, American and British scholars unexpectedly discovered that their ideas were converging in ways that formed a new picture of the variegated Hellenistic mosaic. That picture emerges in these essays and eloquently displays the breadth of modern interest in the Hellenistic Age. A distrust of all ideologies has altered old views of ancient political structures, and feminism has also changed earlier assessments. The current emphasis on multiculturalism has consciously deemphasized the Western, Greco-Roman tradition, and Nubians, Bactrians, and other subject peoples of the time are receiving attention in their own right, not just as recipients of Greco-Roman culture. History, like Herakleitos' river, never stands still. These essays share a collective sense of discovery and a sparking of new ideas--they are a welcome beginning to the reexploration of a fascinatingly complex age.

This text was the first systematic study of what it meant to be 'Greek' in late antiquity and Byzantium, an identity that could alternatively become national, religious, philosophical, or cultural. Through close readings of the sources, Professor Kaldellis surveys the space that Hellenism occupied in each period; the broader debates in which it was caught up; and the historical causes of its successive transformations. The first section (100-400) shows how Romanisation and Christianisation led to the abandonment of Hellenism as a national label and its restriction to a negative religious sense and a positive, albeit rarefied, cultural one. The second (1000-1300) shows how Hellenism was revived in Byzantium and contributed to the evolution of its culture. The discussion looks closely at the reception of the classical tradition, which was the reason why Hellenism was always desirable and dangerous in Christian society, and presents a new model for understanding Byzantine civilisation.

Pendant des siècles, l'Asie Mineure et l'Anatolie ont constitué l'horizon oriental du monde grec. À partir de 334 av. J.-C., la conquête menée par Alexandre et les Macédoniens change brutalement la donne. Cette région complexe, composée de sous-ensembles aux identités géographiques et culturelles affirmées, devient alors durablement une sorte de pont intérieur entre l'Égée et la Méditerranée orientale et, au-delà, la Mésopotamie et le monde iranien. Mais à partir de la mort d'Alexandre en 323, elle devient aussi un lieu privilégié de l'affrontement entre ses successeurs et, ainsi, un espace de légitimation des ambitions des différents acteurs, notamment celles d'Antigone le Borgne. Dans le demi-siècle qui court des années 320 à 270, en raison de sa grande diversité territoriale et politique comme de son caractère stratégique, elle est aussi un espace essentiel d'expérimentation de ces formes inédites de domination que sont les pouvoirs royaux hellénistiques. Ce sont alors de nouvelles modalités de relations avec les communautés locales qui sont inaugurées, par tâtonnement, de nouveaux types d'espaces urbains qui se diffusent, de nouvelles conceptions des territoires royaux qui s'affirment, mais aussi de nouveaux réseaux d'échanges et de mobilité qui émergent. Dans ce processus, les rois et les dynastes ne sont pas les seuls à agir, et il faut rétablir le rôle des acteurs locaux, notamment les cités, dans ce processus complexe d'invention du monde hellénistique dans lequel la péninsule anatolienne occupe une part essentielle
