Alexander the Great’s campaigns from 334-323 BCE established a vast empire across multiple regions, leading to a fusion of Greek and local cultures known as Hellenistic culture.
His empire, stretching from Egypt to India, significantly influenced the art, architecture, and languages of the regions, effects that are still perceptible today.
The cities established by Alexander and his successors often bore his name, such as Alexandria, reflecting his ambition to spread Hellenistic culture throughout his conquests.
Following Alexander's death under mysterious circumstances, his empire was partitioned among four generals, which marked the transition of power and culture in the ancient world.
