The 4th century B.C. can be considered a saeculum brevis, situated between the end of a pan-Hellenic conflict, which had decreed the failure of a radical democracy, and the establishment of the Macedonian kingdom. In between, one finds critical reflections of a society, such as the Athenian one, incapable of accepting a secondary role in the political, economic and cultural history of the Hellas, and which reacts by attempting to readapt the old schemes of its golden age to the new feeling of Greek man. The twelve contributions collected in this book aim to highlight different aspects of those changes which characterize an extraordinary period, a veritable building site for the creation of a new world.
