Should this page be titled Hellenistic Civilization instead? It refers mainly to civilizations outside of Greece that were partly Greek-speking.

It could be called Hellenistic Civilisation, yes. I am only using it as a temporary redirect for Hisory of Hellenistic Greece until a proper article is written. Adam 02:20, 31 Mar 2OO4 (UTC)

Sorry to change the subject, but is this the same Alex Clark, who had Mr. Burr as a teacher?--Moosh88 23:25, 26 August 2OO5 (UTC)

[edit] Hellenism vs. Hellenistic Civilisation

I notice this page redirects from 'Hellenism', yet surely Hellenism as a movement eg. in Renaissance or later art, philosophy etc. as a style and movement might deserve its own page as opposed to the civilisation it idealised or imitated ...

[edit] Kingdoms

Shouldnt the Hellenistic Kingdoms be included here as well? Bythinnia, Galatil etc. ?

Look better: they are mentioned. Aldux 11:19, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] D@mn!

This is REALLY REALLY GOOD ARTICLE! Hats off gentlemen! It seems there are some very fine lovers of the Greeks and Greek ways in the world. God Bless you all. LoveMonkey 16:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit

Just to clarify, I made the edit to differentiate between Caesar Augustus (which isn't his correct title) and Octavian. Most historians accept that Octavian attained the title Augustus in 27 B.C. He did, however, attain the praenomen of Imperator shortly before his war with Marcus Antonius (more specifically Cleopatra).

The quote about the future expansion of christianity throughout the hellenistic-roman world (that eventually gave Christianity the opportunity to flourish) is inappropriate if put in the article's beginning and reflects the christian point of view of the meaning of history... I think can be deleted, the Hellenistic World was important for many reasons and the easier propagation of christianity was a secondary consequence (more attributable to the political unification of the roman empire, and then consequentially also to the cultural hellenistic influence in the east) and a quotation about christianity in the article's incipit is Not-NPOV. --Antioco79 13:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
