Hellenism, culture, religion, technologyAbstract
Here I intend to show, first and schematically, the cultural complexity accumulated in the Hellenistic historiographical culture and then I point out some factors, both Greeks and exogenous which they have been incorporated and transmitted to this day. The memetics consideration, here implied, of all these factors allows a naturalistic interpretation of the cultural evolution that has come to the present.
