Alexander did a number of things to "blend" the cultures and create a brotherhood between Macedonians and Persians. After 329 BC, he adopted Persian clothes (white robe and sash, according to Diodorus)
and tried to integrate Persian court culture into his own, especially prostration (but this failed). He married a Persian chick named Roxanne and encouraged the rest of his soldiers to also marry interracially
by giving them dowries. He added oriental horse archers to his army in 329, and steadily recruited Persian soldiers to fill the gaps of dead Macedonians. The most effective way he mixed the cultures was by founding Greek cities and spreading Hellanistic
thought in the East. The cities were all that remained after his death, because he failed to name a successor and his empire was split up into small parts, destroying his efforts of fusion.
