Eurípides se anticipó a las maneras de sentir y pensar de la época helenística, y fue un precursor audaz y doliente de la nueva concepción del mundo y del individuo en la crisis de la polis clásica y su sistema de creencias y valores.
Luis Agustín García Moreno (1980): «Esa supuesta crisis de la polis clásica; crisis que, como señalamos al principio, constituye el gran eje de toda la problemática historiográfica del siglo IV».
Paul Veyne (citado en Domingo-Gygax, 1994): «La idea de que el evergetismo es el reflejo de una crisis de la polis clásica puede verse reforzada por cierta concepción del evergetismo monárquico» (p. 122).
VV. AA., Central Greece and the Politics of Power in the Fourth Century BC, pg. 12:
[...] if the koine eirene was merely a tool of power politics and hegemonic rivalry [...]. The crucial question is if a multipolar state environment was possible at all, of it is was impossible for the polis to survive in such a surronding. An answer to this question will be decisive for understanding the precise nature of the polis-crisis in the fourth century.
Paraskevi Martzavou, Nikolaos Papazarkadas, Epigraphical Approaches to the Post-Classical Polis: Fourth Century BC to Second Century AD, Oxford University Press, 2013:
epigraphy enables historical analysis of the postclassical polis (city-state) across a world of geographically dispersed poleis: from the Black Sea and Asia Minor to Sicily via the Aegean and mainland Greece [...] the modes of interaction between polis and ruling powers, the construction of ethnic and social identity, interstate and civil conflict and its resolution, social economics, institutional processes and privileges, polis representations, ethics, and, not least, religious phenomena [...] to identify the postclassical polis both as a reality and as a constructed concept, not only a monolithic block, but a result of tension in the exercise of different kinds of powers.
Kostas Vlassopoulos, Unthinking the Greek Polis: Ancient Greek History beyond Eurocentrism, Cambridge University Press, 2007:
[M]odern scholars came to write Greek history from a Eurocentric perspective and challenges orthodox readings of Greek history as part of the history of the West. Since the Greeks lacked a national state or a unified society, economy or culture, the polis has helped to create a homogenising national narrative. [...] old polarities such as those between the Greek poleis and Eastern monarchies, or between the ancient consumer and the modern producer city, [...] the relevance of Aristotle's concept of the polis [...] Greek history as part of a Mediterranean world-system.
