the greek always controlled the sea's around Greece
until King philippus 2 king of Macedonia conquered Greece.
his son Alexander 3 or "Alexander the Great" conquered Persia, Egypt, etc..., eveything from Greece to the Indus river. He got ill there and died some time later. His imense empire was shared among his generals.( one of the most known is Ptolemae who received Egypt, this new dynasty is known as the Ptolemae dynasty, Cleopatre was the last Ptolemae ruler.)
this made Alexander's great Greek empire fall apart but the greek influences stayed there for a long time, you can even know find some of these Greek remainings in the Middle East.
But if u want to hear the hole story you should read a history book.lavantas was also the great father of greek culture in their time period as they began to study the ways life was. you can find lots of recent dicoveries from this in our time periods.
THEY SHOULD ADD MORE STUFF ON HERE CAUSE THIS IS NO HELP -_-

What were some of the policies of Alexander and the hellenistic kings that helped to spread Greeks culture throughout the empire?
You see, HE NEVER DID Your welcome
Why is it called the Hellenistic period?
The period after Alexander was known as the Hellenistic age. His generals divided his empire up between them and continued Alexander's policy of introducing Greek culture to the conquered lands. The generals set themselves up as kings of their territory - we call them today the Hellenistic Kingdoms.
Why were the kindoms called Hellenistic Hellenistic Macedonia Hellenistic Syria and Hellenistic Egypt?
Hellenistic refers to Hellenism - Greek culture. Alexander the Great, on capturing the Persian Empire, tried to introduce Greek culture as a way of civilising it according to his viewpoint. On his death his generals split up this empire amongst themselves as kings. They introduced a veneer of Greek culture amongst the upper classes of their kingdoms, but the lower classes continued on their own cultures. We today call them Hellenistic (like Greek) rather then Hellenic (Greek) as they were superficially like Greek, but not fully so.

How did Alexander the Great contribute on Rome concerning culture?
Alexander the Great contributed to Roman culture indirectly. His conquest of the Persian Empire (including Egypt) led to the formation of Hellenistic culture and the Hellenistic states. A series of wars between his generals followed his death. This led to the creation of Hellenistic states in the territories he conquered: the kingdom of Pergamon in Western Turkey, the Seleucid Empire in most of the Asian territories and the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt. There was also the spread of Hellenistic culture, which was the result of an interaction between Greek culture and the cultures of the conquered peoples. There was also the emergence of Hellenistic sculpture, a new development in Greek sculpture. When the Romans expanded into the western Mediterranean they were influenced by Hellenistic culture. They were also influenced by the two main schools of philosophy of the Hellenistic period: Stoicism and Epicureanism. With contact with Egypt during the civil wars, the Romans were also influenced by the Hellenistic states which had a personality cult of their kings, who were also deified. Julius Caesar pursued a personality cult, which was new in Rome. After is death he was deified, which was also new in Rome. Augustus created the period of rule by emperors which followed the fall of the Roman Republic. He created a personality cult around the figure of the emperor and used Hellenistic sculpture to legitimate and glorify his rule, a practice which was continued by the other emperors. Deifying emperors became a frequent practice.

How did the Greeks spread the hellenic culture?
The Hellenistic Period was post-Alexander the Great, whose Macedonian generals divided his empire into kingdoms of their own we call the Hellenistic kingdoms. These rulers encouraged Greek culture, which was active amongst the upper class of Macedonians and Greeks. The lower classes continued their own cultures. As an example, people such as Queen Cleopatra and the kings of Syria and Pergamon were Macedonian.

What four influences blended to form Hellenistic culture?
The Hellenistic period followed Alexander the great conquered of the Persian empire. including Egypt The Greeks founded cities in the conquered areas which led to Greek influence on the Persians and Egyptians. At the same time the Persians and Egyptians had some influence on the Greeks. An Indo-Greek kingdom was formed. In Egypt the Greek ruling dynasty, the Ptolemies) portrayed themselves as pharaohs and adopted elements of Egyptian culture. In the Indo-Greek kingdom some kings converted to Buddhism
What are the patterns leading up to the development of the Hellenistic culture?
Hellenistic means like Greek (not Greek). It was established in the kingdoms ruled by Alexander's generals when thy took over and divided his empire after his death. These kings were Macedonian, whom the Greeks did not consider Greek (Alexander's troops had to be briefed in Macedonian as they could not understand Greek). However both Alexander and his generals had adopted Greek as their culture and attempted to introduce it as a 'civilising' medium for the foreign peoples they had taken over from the Persian Empire. Its acceptance was limited to the Macedonian and Greek upper classes and the Greek soldiers and carpetbaggers; the various local peoples continued their own cultures and languages.
How did Alexander spread hellenstic culture?
By accident. Alexander went to Asia for two things: glory and loot (in that order). That's what Macedonian kings did. The spread of Hellenic (Greek) culture to the east was: 1) Accidental 2) a thin veneer over what remained essentially native-the-the-area culture In the Hellenistic empires that followed ATG's death, for locals to get ahead, esp. in gov't, they had to learn Greek and adopt at least some Greek culture. Likewise, ATG's cities (that weren't hill forts) were built in the Greek fashion, with a Greek layout, which might differ substantially from the local city plan (wherever it might be). This also spread Greek culture by accident to those who moved into the town. That said, a number of local populations outside the Greek city-centers retained their traditional language, religion, and culture and did NOT adopt Greek culture or values. Or they adopted some of it, then adapted it for their own use. The spread of Greek culture in the East following ATG was actually less substantial than the spread of Roman culture later, especially in the west and N. Africa. But in both cases, it was largely driven by *pragmatic* -- not ideological -- reasons. So no, Alexander was NOT on some grand mission to Hellenize the poor benighted barbarians of the east (for one thing, Greeks tended to regard Persian culture as MORE civilized than theirs, not less ... which ironically wasn't a good thing, as they were convinced "civilized" made the Persians soft). The Greek culture that threaded the ancient near east after his conquests was centered on urban areas, and was frequently found in the upper classes, not among the farmers in the field.
