Hellenistic art was not an art movement. It is the last period of Greek art. It followed the period of classical Greek art. The Hellenistic statues idealised the Greek kings of the Hellenistic States: the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt, eastern Libya and the eastern part of Turkey's Mediterranean coast, the Seleucid Empire (Syria, Lebanon Palestine, Iraq and the stretch from eastern Turkey to the Indus River in Pakistan) and the kingdom of Pergamon (in western Turkey). These kingdoms were ruled by Greek dynasties following Alexander the great's conquest of the Persian Empire. Hence the term Hellenistic Sates. The term Hellenistic also refers to ancient Greece's last historical period from Alexander the Great's conquest to Rome's conquest of Greece.
The Romans did not patronise Hellenistic art. They adopted it. It became the art of the Romans as well.

Greek culture and influence spread throughout the Mediterranean region, which was a result of the conquests of Alexander the Great. The term Hellenistic comes from the word "Hellas," which means Greece in Greek. The Hellenistic period lasted from the death of Alexander in 323 BCE to the establishment of the Roman Empire in 31 BCE. During this time, Greek language, art, philosophy, and science had a lasting impact on the societies that came under Greek rule.
Britain was under Roman occupation for approximately 400 years.
The Hellenstic world was made up of the kingdoms which were carved out of Alexander the Great's empire by his generals after he died. The main ones of these which endured were Egypt under Ptolemy and his successors, Syria-Mesopotamia under Seleucis and his successors, and Pergamon under Attalus and his successors, each of whom established Hellenistic (Greek-style) culture amongst the upper classes of their kingdoms.
It could not decline from nothing - it did not exist until after much of what was to become the Roman empire was already under Roman rule. It spread, particularly after the Romans accepted Christianity under Constantine
Hellenistic religion is any of the various systems of beliefs and practices of the people who lived under the influence of ancient Greek culture during the Hellenistic period and the Roman Empire (c. 300 BCE to 300 CE).

Beethoven and Haydn both worked under the Patronage System. However, both often worked for third parties selling compositions, doing lessons, or performing. ......... Beethoven and Haydn both worked under the patronage system, however, Beethoven did not work exclusively under this system. Haydn stayed with his patron until the Spanish duke died! Beethoven was paid from several avenues and had freedom to write or not write when he chose. The difference was, if Haydn was asked to write by his patron he had to whether he felt like it or not, Beethoven was what we would refer to as a free agent. So the answer is Hayden worked exclusively under the patronage system for the large majority of his life.
Absolutely not. The roman's were Pagans and opposed to Christianity. They violently suppressed it for a long time. Despite this it flourished as an underground movement and eventually it became the official religion under Constantine who converted in the fourth century.

Homer was far more influential in the Hellenic Age (or Golden Age of Greece). The Hellensitic Age occured when Greece was under the rule of the Roman Empire. Homer did not have as much sway in the region during that time.
The Puritans tried to ban the theater and the Shakespeare's Globe theater was under the patronage of a nobleman. This patronage provided protection from the Puritans as well as additional financial backing.
Mostly the unification of Greece under Alexander the Great and his pushing for expansion into Persian lands.
Hellenistic philosophy comes from a late period in Greek history which saw the greatest variety of philosophic schools. There is no single tenant of "helenistic philosophy" as it ranges from platonic forms to the cynics to Pythagoras. What seperates helenistic philosophy from other cultures and movements though, was the desire to understand the supernatural world logically. They trade to make sense of myths and traditions using the newly formed mathematics, social ethics, morality. As a result, many religions found themselves evolving under the Hellenistic microscope, not so much abandoning faith, as trying to find solid reason for it. This would later be revived in Christianity as the apologetics movement.
