Just a note (see also Talk:Hellenistic Greece) - I'm translating this article from the French fr:Époque hellénistique, a featured article, here. Feel free to copy-edit the french. The translation of the first section was a bit loose, but I was more strict in the second, so be especially judicious for the second section. I'll try to maintain the method I used in the intro. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 06:34, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Hellenistic Philosophy

This section could use information about the Hellenistic period of philosophy, at least naming some of the skeptic (Pyrrho), epicurean (Epicurus, Lucretius) and stoic (Zeno of Citium) philosophers of the era.

[edit] Hellenistic Civilisation

Looking at the articles Hellenistic Civilisation vs Hellenistic Period, they both cover somewhat similar ground... I feel that some of what I've tried to put in Hellenistic Period (mainly the cultural aspects, which need to be extended) would fit better into Hellenistic Civilisation, and that the history side would fit better into Hellenistic Period. Any thoughts on the matter? I also apologise for shoehorning some of the Hellenism in...like I say, it needs to go somewhere and I'd like to put more about the culture in.
