The Hellenistic period, spanning from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC, was a time of great cultural and artistic development. This can be seen through various artifacts and artworks that have survived throughout history. One such artifact is a marble sculpture depicting a Ptolemaic figure of Alexander the Great, dating back to around 100 BC. This sculpture showcases the influence of Greek art on Egyptian rulers during this period. Another significant event during this time was the Battle of Jonathan against Baccide. Although not much information is available about this battle, it highlights the political turmoil and power struggles that characterized Hellenistic kingdoms. In terms of art, fragments from Polyphemus Group or Ulysses blinding Polyphemus provide insight into mythological themes popular during this era. These fragments include Polyphemus' right hand and left leg, as well as reconstructed versions of the group. The story depicted here originates from Homer's Odyssey and reflects an interest in Greek mythology among artists at that time. Additionally, ceramic pieces like red-figure kantharos depicting a youth and another one featuring a woman showcase exquisite craftsmanship prevalent in Hellenistic Greece around 310 BC. Lastly, there is evidence that even renowned poets like Sophocles were celebrated during this period. A marble sculpture captures him reading his works while providing us with a glimpse into literary pursuits within society at that time.
