What impact did Alexander the Great have on the ancient world?

Answer 1

He was absolutely ruthless in promoting himself and his ideas. Part was maintaining absolute power, part in pushing his idea of civilisation, which was to his mind Greek. He took several measures, introducing Greek culture by establishing over 70 Greek-style cities as a guide, he married himself and his senior soldiers to Persian women to raise a new cross generation, and inducted Persians into his army. These efforts were cut short by his early death, but his generals who succeeded him established their own kingdoms from the empire, and introduced a veneer of Hellenism in them.

Answer 2

Alexander the great spread the Greek language and aspects of Greek culture to many parts of Asia and North Africa. Alexandria, a city he founded in Egypt, remains a center of learning to this day, and Greek was its primary language until Islamic rule came to Egypt.

Answer 3

Alexander, being Greek did not only liberate Greek cities in Asia Minor from the Persians, did not only founded Greek cities all over his empire but he also spread Hellenism. The Greek language became universal after Alexander. Greek philosophy exploded and the Ptolemaic dynasty in Alexandria of Egypt, the most famous of the many Alexandrias Alexander founded, built the most famous library of the time and tried to collect all human knowledge. Without Alexander the Greek language and Philosophy would not be as widespread as they became. Alexander did not conquer Italy but the following Roman Empire kept the Greek language and Philosophy alive and Christianity found the tools to expand through out the empire and beyond. The New Testament's prototype text is in Greek and the Old Testament was translated in Alexandria in Greek and became a reference text for other translations. As W.R Inge has written "Platonism is part of the vital structure of Christian theology, with which no other philosophy, I venture to say, can work without friction."
