Alexander the great's generals, after his death, divided his new found empire up amongst themselves, establishing what we today call the Hellenistic kingdoms - Hellenistic because the ruling Macedonian and Greek classes adopted Greek culture. The fact that it was partial (the lower classes continued their traditional ways) we use Hellenistic (like Hellenic) rather than Hellenic.
