Discuss the achievements of Hellenistic scholars and writers, either literary or scientific. Give examples of their works
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Students with a literary bent will choose to write about the dramatists and poets discussed such as Callimachus, Apollonius, and Theocritus. Discussions of science should include at least some of the theories and discoveries of Euclid, Archimedes, Aristarchus, Hipparchus, Erastothenes, and Herophilus. A good essay will show how the writers were different from those of the early period and how the stresses of Hellenistic scholarship were different from Classical Greek scholarship.
