	Hellenistic Period in Anatolia and Asia Minor
		Hellenistic Period covers from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE, to the death of Cleopatra and annexation of Egypt by the Romans in 30 BCE.
		These frequent wars came to weaken the Hellenistic kingdoms, and they were all absorbed by first Parthian kings and later by the Romans in the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE.
		Decisions taken at the meeting held at Triparadeisus in 321 BCE, by the former generals of Alexander, and new warlords brought new regulations and led to the division of the Alexander's Empire.

	Hasmonian Jesuralem: a Jewish city in a hellenistic orbit
		Jerusalem during the Hasmonean period was perceived as a Jewish city that evolved around the dimension of Hellenistic culture.
		Hellenistic culture was another force at work in the wake of, and even before, Alexander's conquests of the East, and it was to shape the city in no less profound ways than the Jewish dimension.
		The Hasmonean rulers thus appear to have lived comfortably within the Hellenistic and Jewish worlds, and this is the message they wished to convey to their people via one of the most public vehicles at their disposal.

		For the Hellenistic historian war reveals the characters of groups and men because it is the most dangerous enterprise an individual or community would face, while dedicatory inscriptions tend to highlight the generosity of a benefactor by emphasizing the magnitude of communal suffering in war.
		Hellenistic political leaders, like their modern counterparts, tried to justify their decisions to go to war, and it is difficult to disentangle the 'real reasons' a community went to war from the propaganda and justifications recorded in the sources.
		Hellenistic historiography stressed the centrality of war; important victories were often recalled in speeches, lengthy dedicatory inscriptions, and festivals and celebrations; and the Hellenistic urban landscape was thick with monuments to war.

	Hellenistic period - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It's often considered a period of transition, sometimes even of decline or decadence, between the brilliance of the Greek Classical Era and the strength of the Roman Empire.
		However, the splendor of cities, such as Alexandria, Antioch, Pergamon, the importance of foreign trade, cultural exchanges, and the dominant role of Greek and its diffusion profoundly affected the face of the ancient Middle East later under Roman dominion.
		A kingdom that was all in all average, associated with a few Greek cities, was able to defeat the greatest empire of the time period, the Persian Empire of Darius III.

		The Hellenistic period was the first age of Western imperial expansion in Asia and one of the principal formative epochs in the history of ancient Eurasia.
		These two aspects of the Hellenistic period, the emergence of Greek culture as a significant factor in the culture of the old world and the decline of Greece's Near Eastern rivals, were intertwined, since it was Macedonian imperial domination in the east that facilitated the cultural hegemony of Greece.
		Hellenistic historiography was in every sense a continuation of the Classical tradition of historical writing inasmuch as the historians shared the same polis-centered viewpoint of their fifth-and fourth-century B.C. predecessors, treated similar subjects, used their predecessors' works as models, and even sometimes wrote continuations of them.

		The Hellenistic monarch was essentially a warrior king for whom the army was an important source of monarchical legitimacy and whose authority was rarely questioned so long as he was successful in war.
		Since the salient features of the Hellenistic period and important discontinuities with what came before and after are not clearly articulated, the specific correspondence between war and contemporary cultural peculiarities does not emerge as forcefully as it could.
		The interrelatedness of military success and political legitimacy, the emphasis of a martial ethos among the political elite, the tendency of political leaders to justify the decision to go to war, the interlinking of warfare and religion, notions of the masculinity of war, the centrality of war in historical narratives, for example.

	Hellenistic Effects on Judaic Literature
		It was the Greek influence of the Hellenistic age that gave impetus to the emergence of the Jewish eschatological salvation.
		During this period Antiochus IV, had issued a decree ordering his soldiers to “...force the Jews to forsake the laws of their forefathers and cease to live according to the laws of God.”[4] As a result, the Jews of Judea were persecuted and oppressed if they failed to comply with Antiochus’ orders.
		Before the Hellenistic period, Judaic afterlife was defined as follows: “All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.”[8] This phrase is indicative of the pre-Hellenistic Jewish idea that a person’s essence dies with his body.

		But in 301 BC a coalition of Cassander and the other Hellenistic kings defeated Antigonus at the Battle of Ipsus, ending his challenge.
		Antigonus II ruled until his death in 239 BC, and his family retained the Macedonian throne until it was abolished by the Romans in 146 BC.

		Primarily, Heinen is concerned with describing the Hellenistic age as a distinct period within the history of the ancient world and to make clear its specifics to the reader.
		For Heinen, the "balance of power" which modern research considers characteristic for the history of the Hellenistic world, at least after 281, was not the result of political strategy, but rather of the incapability of the Hellenistic rulers to defeat their rivals and to occupy their territories.
		In fact, as Heinen emphasizes, the end of the Hellenistic monarchies coincided with the dissolution of the republican constitution at Rome and its replacement by the principate.

	Hellenistic Thought
		Although the general culture of this "Hellenistic" period remained Greek in spirit, political power was vested in a highly centralized state, established and maintained primarily through extensive applications of military force.
		Hellenistic philosophers, therefore, devoted less attention than had Plato and Aristotle to the speculative construction of an ideal state that would facilitate the achievement of a happy life.
		Instead, the ethical thinkers of this later period focussed upon the life of the individual, independently of the society as a whole, describing in detail the kinds of character and action that might enable a person to live well despite the prevailing political realities.

		Alexander the Great’s Successors: in defence of the Hellenistic period
		The Hellenistic period is very easy indeed to define in terms of its single most important constituent, namely the highly distinctive group of intermarrying and warring Macedonian-derived dynasts that presided over it, prominent among whom were the Ptolemies, the Seleucids and the Antigonids.
		There was, on the one hand, even within the Hellenistic period itself, a clear sense that the career of Alexander had transformed the Greek world and created a new epoch.

		This paper discusses how Hellenistic Art was primarily influenced by Alexander the Great's conquests, which introduced the culture, arts and philosophies of foreign lands into the Greek milieu and how it mirrored Alexander's pride, his vision and his stature.
		It looks at how the term "Hellenistic" describes the arts that fuse the Greek with Asian traditions and reflects a shift in Greek consciousness away from the pantheon of gods toward a private, wealthy sector of art collectors.
		This paper explains that the most expressive period in the history of the English theatre was the period of Queen Elizabeth I, the second half of the 16th century in which William Shakespeare was the most significant dramatist of the period.
