Greece was unified by Philip 2. Alexander swept aside the Persians. This was the Hellenistic age. Epicurus (342-271): everything in the world is composed of atoms in emptiness. The soul to, and so when a person dies his atoms are dispered and that is that. The gods are made of refined atoms but exits outside the world and they are not concerned at all with what we do or do not do. The best thing to do is to cultivate moderation in the persuit of reasonable pleasure.
