Abstract

If the true test of a culture lies in the men of learning that it produces, Bithynia, though not so fast in development as the other states of a Hellenistic pattern, attained a standard equal to any and deserves a position among them. Hellenism, though working outward from but few centers and encountering the native of Thracian stock who was not quick to grasp ideas, wrought challenges which were not less permanent and far reaching in effect.
