We now call these kingdoms the Hellenistic Kingdoms as, although not completely Hellenised, they spread a veneer of Greek culture over the eastern Mediterranean which lasted for a few hundred years.
Why didn't the democratic ideas of Greek city-states spread throughout the empire of Alexander the Great?
