Description

Most studies of fourth century Athens end with the battle of Khaironeia or with the death of Alexander, and while these may have been epochal points for other parts of Greece, neither was definitive for Athens. In Fourth Century Athens and the Hellenistic World, renowned historian of ancient Greece Philip Harding looks forward rather than back to illustrate how seamless was Athens' transition into the Hellenistic world. Harding argues that it was the fourth-century, rather than the fifth, that eventually became the model for the Hellenistic city in government, diplomacy, education, taxation and administration of justice. Furthermore, it was Athens of the fourth century that provided the spiritual inspiration for Hellenistic culture. Whilst the spread of Hellenism to the east of Asia Minor and Egypt through the foundation of cities is rightly attributed to Alexander and his successors, Harding here argues for the recognition that Athens was truly the model for these new cities with implications for subsequent learning, religion, philosophy and rhetoric, literature and art.
