Alexander presided over a few years of Greco-Persian history. His successors continued to press Greek culture for a few hundred years before Islam replaced this influence in most of the lands he ruled. His residual influence is as a notable figure in the sweep of ancient history.
Indian art became more realistic
Greek culture and influence spread throughout the Mediterranean region, which was a result of the conquests of Alexander the Great. The term Hellenistic comes from the word "Hellas," which means Greece in Greek. The Hellenistic period lasted from the death of Alexander in 323 BCE to the establishment of the Roman Empire in 31 BCE. During this time, Greek language, art, philosophy, and science had a lasting impact on the societies that came under Greek rule.
Both were Greek and master tacticians, skilled in the art of warfare.
The language, law, the Greek city model, architecture, literature, art and theatre.. This happened because of Alexander the great marching with his army all over the east
Greeks claim Alexander the Great as Greek because he was born and raised in the Kingdom of Macedonia, which was located in the northern part of modern-day Greece. Additionally, his parents were Greek and he spoke Greek. Despite his Macedonian heritage, Alexander identified himself as Greek and embraced Greek culture, art, and philosophy.
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.

it was greek and their called mosaics, and before you say greek and byzantine are the same, your wrong. Although similar in culture byzantines are more macedonian (alexander the great type) than greek
He established over 70 Greek-style cities (nearly half modestly named Alexandria after himself) to provide centres of Greek culture. He also married a thousand of his senior soldiers to Persian women and drafted Persian youths into his army to speed up hellenisation.
Hellenistic art was not an art movement. It is the last period of Greek art. It followed the period of classical Greek art. The Hellenistic statues idealised the Greek kings of the Hellenistic States: the Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt, eastern Libya and the eastern part of Turkey's Mediterranean coast, the Seleucid Empire (Syria, Lebanon Palestine, Iraq and the stretch from eastern Turkey to the Indus River in Pakistan) and the kingdom of Pergamon (in western Turkey). These kingdoms were ruled by Greek dynasties following Alexander the Great's conquest of the Persian Empire. Hence the term Hellenistic Sates. The term Hellenistic also refers to ancient Greece's last historical period from Alexander the Great's conquest to Rome's conquest of Greece. The Romans did not patronise Hellenistic art. They adopted it. It became the art of the Romans as well.
Alexander the Great's main achievements were cultural and especially military. Culturally, he spread the remarkable art, science, and political theory of Greek culture throughout the known world, even into the Indian sub-continent. Militarily, he conquered the civilization of his age both quickly and decisively -- and with a very small force of troops at his command. After his death, his military achievements, in particular, served as a model for military leaders throughout history.
