AHIS341: Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic Age
Alexander the Great's extraordinary conquests (towards the end of the fourth century BC) opened up vast areas of the ancient Near-East to Greek influences. This unit deals with the political and cultural history of the eastern Mediterranean area, beginning with Alexander's invasion of the Persian Empire, and in some detail with his personality and policies. This unit follows the fortunes of his successors in the third and second centuries BC, the Hellenisation of native peoples, and reactions to cultural change, down to the early first century AD, under the Roman Empire.
