초록

The utopian thought of the Hellenistic era was not a temporal utopia but a spatial utopia in social and pastoral dimensions, known as “Raumutopie”. Additionally, utopian novels of the Hellenistic era drew inspiration from previous utopian ideas and reflected an expanded realm of new nations, including the expansion of the worldview due to Alexander the Great’s eastern expedition. For the utopian novelists of the Hellenistic era, utopia had now replaced the concept of the autonomous political institution of the polis, not on the continent but as an island. In light of these influences, the idea of an idealized city like Uranopolis in the time of Alexander the Great’s rule cannot be discounted as a utopian city conception that aimed to address the societal and political issues of the Hellenistic era, which were caused by the loss of polis culture, and to provide a much-needed breakthrough in the realm of the spiritual. It is essential to separate political thought from political utopian ideology since the proposals for the construction of Uranopolis by Cassander, influenced by his realpolitik considerations, were subject to limitations depending on societal and political conditions. The idealized societal vision found in the works of Euhemerus and Iambulus is considered a political utopia because it represents an entirely new form of an ideal state, introducing the desires and fantasies of the time into the dimension of Locus Amoenus. In comparison, some clues attempting to interpret Uranopolis as an ideal societal vision have inherent limitations in terms of documentary interpretation and must be sought within logical connections with other sources. Nevertheless, considering the common features of Hellenistic utopias such as isolation, autonomy, and the maintenance of social order, Uranopolis can be seen as embodying social, political, cultural, and religious aspects aimed at realizing these characteristics
