Hellenism and Empire: Language, Classicism, and Power in the Greek World, Ad 50-250 Hardcover - 1996

by Simon Swain

From the publisher

Hellenism and Empire explores identity, politics, and culture in the Greek world of the first three centuries AD, the period known as the second sophistic. The sources of this identity were the words and deeds of classical Greece, and the emphasis placed on Greekness and Greek heritage was far
greater then than at any other time. Yet this period is often seen as a time of happy consensualism between the Greek and Roman halves of the Roman Empire. The first part of the book shows that Greek identity came before any loyalty to Rome (and was indeed partly a reaction to Rome), while the
views of the major authors of the period, which are studied in the second part, confirm and restate the prior claims of Hellenism.
