It can also be seen within the art of the period. Scholars, artists, and philosophers began rejecting the collective ideals, and instead, they focused on the cult of the individual. Sculptures were no longer that of gods and ideals but of individuals, and philosophers cultivated the ideas of individual happiness and pleasure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReligious cults, such as the cult of Isis, formed around the same concepts, claiming to offer the secret of immortality and prosperity to those who sought it for themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Hellenistic age brought a great deal of change in the ancient world.
