Violence had long been central to the experience of Hellenistic Greek cities and to
their civic discourses. This volume asks how these discourses were shaped and how
they functioned within the particular cultural constructs of the Hellenistic world.
It was a period in which warfare became more professionalised, and wars increasingly
ubiquitous. The period also saw major changes in political structures that led to
political and cultural experimentation and transformation in which the political and
cultural heritage of the classical city-state encountered the new political principles
and cosmopolitan cultures of Hellenism. Finally, and in a similar way, it saw expanded
opportunities for cultural transfer in cities through (re)constructions of urban space.
Violence thus entered the city through external military and political shocks, as
well as within emerging social hierarchies and civic institutions. Such factors also
inflected economic activity, religious practices and rituals, and the artistic, literary
and philosophical life of the polis
