Using EB For An Term Project

[Evocata]

Ave! I've been an EB fan for the past two years, and have loved every minute of it, thanks to the team..... (degenerates into usual fanboy fawning).

Anyway, I have a very large, very important term project for my Comparative Civilization 12 class.

We are allowed to do anything on any civilization(s) from 6000BCE to the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476CE), all it has to be is substantial, informative, involving, and can be in any medium. As the biggest history junkie in the class (spurred in part by EB, which encouraged me to learn read Latin, ancient Greek, and completely fail at learning Parni to get at primary sources like Xenophon, Plutarch, Herodotus etc.), I relished the opportunity and have decided to do the project on the Hellenistic Period.

Unfortunately, this is where my ideas run out, I would like to use EB in some fashion as it would be both involving and historically accurate (Antesignanii notwithstanding). Just wondering if that's okay from a legal or copyright sense (it/the team would be credited in the bibliography).

Also, if anyone also has any interesting ideas, or any suggestions, I'd be happy to listen.

I'm in no way a member of the team, but I've read of something similar before and it wasn't a problem.
Maybe try a polite PM to JMRC, the current team leader, asking elucidations.

I'd be interested in hearing how you manage to incorporate EB into this project.

To cite/find sources check the bibliographies listed at the bottom of many EB2 previews. As for the project itself, you could try an analysis of the changes in culture and perspective of different Hellenistic powers as they became more and more isolated after the death of Alexander. Starting from a mostly Macedonian/Persian base, how have the diadochoi changed and how have they stayed the same?

You could use EB to illustrate the challenges of holding together/reidentifying the Hellenic legacy introduced by Alexander into far off lands. Comparing the differences between the Diodachi and the causes and effects of infighting between them. Or the evolution of hellenic warfare after the sarissa phalanx and Macedon cavalry.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions so far guys! I'm mainly considering using it for providing a visual companion to show off some of the military capabilities of the Diadochi, as well as technologies and historical expansion/regression. While the focus will be on the diadochs, there will be minor coverage of their opponents and contemporaries (ie Galatians, Parni, Hai). Keep the ball rolling and I might just put up pictures when I'm done.
