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 Hellenistic states which succeeded Alexander dwindled and the Roman Empire expanded through Greece. The holdout was Alexandria which became the bastion of Greek culture.
