Hellenistic studies

Hellenistic studies focus on the period of history and culture from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE to the rise of the Roman Empire in the late 1st century BCE. This era is characterized by the spread of Greek culture across the Mediterranean and Near East, blending with local traditions. Scholars in this field examine literature, philosophy, art, and history to understand how these interactions shaped societies. Hellenistic studies also explore the impact of this cultural exchange on later civilizations and its relevance to modern understanding of cultural integration and diversity.
