| NOTES: |
Alexander the Great (30:00) Alexander the Great's conquests quadrupled the size of the world known to the Greeks. The factors contributing to his rise to power and how the great leader chose to hav ehimself portrayed in commemorative sculptures are discussed. paintings in the House of the Faun in Pompeii teach us about the conqueror's life and times. The Helenistic Age (30:00) Hellenistic kingdoms extended Greek culture throughout the Mediterranean, giving more emphasis to the individual. The ideas of the popular mystery cults of Isis, Serapis, and Mithras, and the philosophical teachings of Cynicism, Stoicism, and Epicureanism are unveiled. |
