Hellenistic Greece

Hellenistic Greece refers to the period following Alexander the Great’s conquest in the 4th century BCE, when Greek culture spread across Egypt, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. This era saw the blending of Greek ideas with local traditions, leading to advancements in science, art, philosophy, and architecture. Cities like Alexandria became cultural and intellectual hubs. Despite political fragmentation among successor states, Hellenistic culture thrived, influencing subsequent civilizations. It marked a time of cross-cultural exchange and innovation, shaping the foundation for modern Western and Middle Eastern civilizations.
