Happy (late) pride month everyone! ☀️🪻
Been working hard at an excavation recently; we found a lot of Hellenistic Pottery today, I wanted to share some of them.
Later in summer, we will hopefully move the excavation to an ancient greek cemetery that is nearby if we secure the funding. As my niche is funerary archaeology I am especially hyped about that.
Definitely expect some (ethical) info dumps and little sneak peeks :D
Anyway… Some Hellenistic pottery photos :^)

Cast Glass Pomegranate Vase. (ca. 2nd Century B.C. – 1st Century A.D.) In ancient Greek life, small fruit-shaped containers like this were commonly used to hold precious cosmetic or perfume oils. To achieve this rich burgundy color in the Hellenistic period, ancient glassworkers typically added a small amount of manganese or colloidal gold to the molten glass.
Hello Professor! Did the Macedonians hate Alexander in retrospect? And if so, why? Is it because of the Persianization?
Alexander's reputation went up and down, although he remained so enormously important/popular that all the Successor kings sought ties to him. They wouldn't have done that if he'd been widely hated.
That said, it certainly wasn't beloved in some areas of Greece, and not only Athens (although his infamy may have peaked there). And his father, Philip, was probably more popular, at least in some areas of Macedonia/among some groups.
But it's more nuanced than yes, they loved him or no, they hated him.
Hellenistic Greece artwork appreciation. the most dramatic, emotional and tragic of Greek art history, showcasing the turmoil of the time.
Trying to design period accurate costumes for Antigone for my Drama A level.
WHY DOES EVERY REFERENCE BOOK TREAT ANCIENT GREECE LIKE ONE COHESIVE WHOLE!?!?!!?!?!?!
Like, I know there's got to be a difference between what they would have worn in the Mycenaean age and what Sophocles-era classical greeks would have worn and Hellenistic Greeks would have worn and so on and so forth. Human beings won't be wearing the same thing without variation for over a thousand years. I know that from my other forays into fashion history.
Yet, nothing I can find is telling me about this difference, and I'll get the marks whether I can communicate the singularity of 400BCE fashions or not, but I want to KNOW so that the costumes can be RIGHT, rather than just tossing off the popular Greek silhouette.
The examiner probably won't care if there are archaic elements in there, but I would really rather do it right than counting on the examiner not being an expert in Classical Greek fashion history.
So, um, if anyone knows about the identifying features of what would have been worn by Athenian or Theban Greeks in the early 400s BCE, please please please help a very lost and confused child.

Head of Artemis, of the Rospigliosi type. Marble Roman-era copy (1st-2nd cent. CE) after a Hellenistic original, perhaps from a Gigantomachia. Now in the Louvre.
"Coinciding with the development of the youthful male body in fourth century greek sculpture was the representation of androgyny: by the Hellenistic period, the deities Dionysus and Apollo, in particular, were reconfigured with a combination of masculine and feminine traits. The Romans, too, imagined these deities in androgynous terms, and, in Roman art, they are curly haired, sweet faced and round limbed."

Today I learned about an old breed of mime, the Hellenistic Greek mimes. They were the descendants of the Old Classical Greek Poets, who would travel and tell poems and epics before theaters were established. Their traveling groups included players, jugglers, and acrobats and even more exciting they actually included women in their troupes (though they were still scorned and considered immoral). However they spoke, unlike modern mime breeds, making it a distinctly different mime subspecies if you will.
What I’m getting at though is that these Hellenistic Greek mimes greatly resemble modern circus troupes and could be considered an ancestor of the breeds we know and love today.
