Hellenistic

323–31 BCE

15 authors 128 works

After Alexander's death, Greek culture spreads across the eastern Mediterranean and Near East while new royal courts patronise scholarship. Libraries at Alexandria and Pergamon anchor philology, science, and philosophy; poets such as Callimachus and Apollonius refine learned epic, and Stoicism, Epicureanism, and scepticism reshape ethical thought.
