There was an initial attempt by Alexander to introduce Greek culture to his empire, but after his early death and his generals dividing his empire amongst themselves to form the kingdoms, the view became more limited. The Macedonian and Greek upper class followed Greek customs, and the locals continued their own cultures. The Macedonian rules ruled as monarchs, and the people at large had no political participation, the antithesis of the city-state.
