Alien Wisdom The Limits of Hellenization

This study of cultural confrontation looks at the attitude of the Greeks to four different civilizations - the Roman, Celtic, Jewish and Persian - and analyses their cultural and intellectual interactions in the last four centuries B.C. It argues that the Greeks, Romans and Jews formed an exclusive relationship, effectively establishing, what was until recently, the normal horizon of Western civilisation.Momigliano, Arnaldo D. is the author of 'Alien Wisdom The Limits of Hellenization' with ISBN 9780521387613 and ISBN 0521387612.
