When he conquered an area, he established cities on the Hellenic model, which gave people citizenship and the amenities therewith - gymnasiums, markets, meeting places, theatres etc, intended to be both a civilising and stabilising influence.

∙ 13y agoAlexander the great's "contribution" to spreading Greek Culture was minimal. All he did was conquer and massacre people across the known world to satisfy his ego and ambitions.
Alexander himself was more interested in conquest that culture. In fact ,he became more Persian than Greek. In the last years of his life, he had adopted the Persian habit of having multiple wives, and requiring everyone to bow and genuflect when in his presence.
However, after his death, his empire was divided between his Macedonian (not Greek) generals. It was these Macedonian successors to Alexander who were the ones that introduced Greek culture and traditions in the lands that Alexander conquered.
Alexander never spent enough time in any place he conquered to do anything but dedicate a temple to himself before moving on to conquer someone else. He was nothing more than a Genghis Khan with a classical education.

Greeks call themselves Hellenes after their reputed founder Helen.

It gained traction with some of the upper classes and provided a veneer of Hellenic culture (the lower classes kept to their own culture. Hence use of the expression Hellenistic - like Hellenic.
