Description
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.

how did the greeks percieve themselves under roman rule? that is indeed a good and interesteing question.however, i am not sure that the question is sufficiently answered in this volume. i had some for more of a socio-economic and political history, but much of the book is dedicated to an analysis of the greek litterature of the periode.during this period the greeks would hawk back to an earlier time where they were not subjugated by the romans and portray heroes that spoke in archiaric greek. this would show how the greeks were entitled to be treated as special subjects by the romans as well as strengten greek self conciousness. hardly surprising. but a detailed and scholarly, (maybe even dry) analysis
