Think about the larger developments and continuities within and across chapters.

  1. Question

    How was Greek society in the Hellenistic era similar to that of the earlier Hellenic era examined in Chapter 3? How was it different? What would you judge to be more significant, the continuities or the changes?

  2. Question

    Cities had existed in the Tigris and Euphrates Valleys and the Near East long before Alexander’s conquests. What would residents of Sumer (Chapter 1), Babylon (Chapters 1 and 2), and Pergamum find unusual about one another’s cities? What would seem familiar?

  3. Question

    How would you compare religion in Egypt in the Old and New Kingdoms (Chapter 1) with religion in Hellenistic Egypt? What provides the best explanation for the differences you have identified?
