New culture, the time in which the world began to be modern. The Greek and the Oriental: the world in its complete shape. The oecumene is the inhabited world where the intelligence speaks Greek. The head is Alexandria, but the heart is Athens. Here to talk about Seleucides in Asia, Ptolemies in Egypt, Antigonides in Macedonia...
