Hellenistic_Period

Hellenistic Period After the reign of Alexander the Great there was a period in time in the ancient world known as the Hellenistic period. During this time nearly everything had changed for the Greeks. There was no petty bickering between the city-states as there was during the Hellenic era. Instead there was a rich blend of other civilizations that fused their culture with that of Greece. This created many new things for the people. Philosophy started to turn away from the beliefs of such men as Plato and art started to evolve from straight body figures to an emotional piece that captured the essence of what it was portraying. The government was much more capable of handling things than the Hellenic society was. There are also many other factors that show that the Hellenistic civilization was much more "productive" than that of the Hellenic period. Among other factors that made this society more "efficient" was their military. The new empire, built between the time period of 334-326 BC was constructed by one of the most effective armies ever known to the ancient world.
