Hellenistic Alexandria: Celebrating 24 Centuries presents the
proceedings of a conference held at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, on December
13–15, 2017, and includes high-level dialogues and philosophical discussions
between international experts on Hellenistic Alexandria. The goal was to
celebrate the 24 centuries which have elapsed since its foundation and the
beginning of the Library and the Museum of Alexandria. The conference was
divided into two parts, to include in the first part archaeology, history,
philosophy, literature, art, culture and legal issues and in the second part
science, medicine, technology and environment. A total of 28 original and
peer-reviewed articles point to the importance of the brilliantly-original
ideas that emerged during the Hellenistic age and the curious modernity of the
whole atmosphere of the time. The range of presented topics covers a variety of
new data on the foundation of Alexandria to comparison between Ptolemaic
Alexandria and Ptolemaic Greece through philosophy, culture and drama to the
forgotten revolution of science, medicine and the prevailing climatological and
geophysical conditions throughout the Hellenistic Period. The conference and
its proceedings were co-sponsored by the Μarianna V.
Vardinoyannis Foundation, the Acropolis Museum, the Alexandria Center for
Hellenistic Studies at Bibliotheca Alexandrina and the Mariolopoulos-Kanaginis
Foundation for the Environmental Sciences.
The Publication also celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Alexandria
Center for Hellenistic Studies, a joint collaboration between the Bibliotheca
Alexandrina, the Vardinoyannis Foundation and the University of Alexandria.
Scholars from around the world follow the Center’s programme in various
specialisations, ranging from historyliterature- art, to archaeology and
architecture-philosophy, and science.
