Description: If you want to discover the captivating history of the Hellenistic Age, then keep reading... The alienation of the people from the government and society itself can be seen as a result of the Hellenistic transformation. It can also be seen within the art of the period. Scholars, artists, and philosophers began rejecting the collective ideals, and instead, they focused on the cult of the individual. Sculptures were no longer that of gods and ideals but of individuals, and philosophers cultivated the ideas of individual happiness and pleasure. Religious cults, such as the cult of Isis, formed around the same concepts, claiming to offer the secret of immortality and prosperity to those who sought it for themselves. The Hellenistic age brought a great deal of change in the ancient world. However, the era was destined to end in 31 BCE with the Battle of Actium. Octavian's Roman forces defeated Mark Antony's and Cleopatra's Ptolemaic fleet, thus securing the rise of the Roman Empire. While the Hellenistic age lasted only for a brief period in humanity's rich history, its influence on culture, science, and philosophy has resonated with the world ever since. In The Hellenistic Age: A Captivating Guide to an Era of Mediterranean History That Took Place Between the Death of Alexander the Great and the Rise of the Roman Empire , you will discover topics such as The Beginning of a New AgeCassander, Rise of a New KingAntigonusThe Seleucid EmpireCassander of MacedoniaAfter the BattleThe End of an EraA New BeginningEurope after the Chremonidean WarEgypt and the Ptolemaic DynastyAsiaThe First Macedonian WarThe Rise of RomeAntiochus III and RomeRome and Hellenistic EuropeRome in Egypt and AsiaHellenistic Anatolia DefeatedRome in EgyptRome's Path to PowerAnd much, much more!
