When studying about Jesus, the Second Temple Period is important because it gives numerous events of being controlled by government authority and includes five eras of difficulty for the Jewish nation. With that being said, the Christian canon does not document the Second Temple Period as it relates to the description and political aspects of this era but it does give us detail as to the Jews expectations as it relates to messianic prophecies.

Similar to the Greeks, Alexander supposed the Asians to be “barbarians.” Even so, he tried to accept some of their traditions to smooth the path for his new Hellenistic empire. Alexander started to wear the Persian clothing and needed his men to do the similar thing. He insisted that everyone follows the Persian exercise of prostrating themselves when following him on the

The Hellenistic Period's Modern Benefits When Alexander the Great died, and left his huge empire to his successors, he also left much change in his wake. Alexander the Great(356 – 323 B.C.), a conqueror of much of the known world in his time, left a powerful influence when he died. He started the Hellenistic Period, the era of Greek culture.

No longer did the average citizen’s life play a role in the administration and leadership of the state. This shift in the citizen’s importance shines through the sculptures of the Hellenistic period as other facets of the human experience began to dominate the minds

Eratosthenes was born in 276 B.C. in a Greek colony in Cyrene, a country in North Africa better known in the present day as Libya. He raised by modest parents, his mother’s name is not known, and his father’s name could be one of two that have been discovered, Aglaos or Ambrosios. Even though they were modest parents, they were somehow able to have enough money for an education for their son. They would have had to own land that was worth at least 20 minas (type of Athenian currency), and his parents
