Best Answer

The Hellenistic period lasted from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. until 31 B.C., when Roman troops conquered the last of the territories that the Macedonian king had once ruled. During this time period, Greek ideas and culture were spread from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia.

The Hellenistic Age saw the development of sophisticated military weapons and tactics and the growth of an international bureaucracy.

New literary terms emphasized personal rather than universal concerns. Hellenistic writing departs from the abstract reasoning of the ancient philosophers and the profound questioning of the classical poets.

Did the Hellenistic age proceed the Dark ages?

The Hellenistic Age was a period after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. It lasted about 200 or 300 years, depending on how you define it. The Dark Ages are usually regarded as lasting from 476 AD to 1000 AD or thereabouts. This would make them centuries after the Hellenistic Age. There were a number of Dark Ages, however, and one of them, called the Greek Dark Age, was from about 1200 to 800 BC, which would put it several centuries before the Hellenistic Age.
