During the Hellenistic period, the Greek language and culture were introduced to Judah and the Jewish people by Alexander the Great and the subsequent Greek rulers who controlled the region. The Greek influence brought about changes in language, education, and customs, leading to the rise of Hellenistic Jewish culture.
Alexander the Great spared Jerusalem during his conquests due to a combination of political and religious factors. When he approached the city in 332 BCE, the Jewish high priest, Jaddua, reportedly went out to meet him, wearing ceremonial garments. This gesture, combined with prophecies about Alexander found in Jewish texts, led him to respect the city and its inhabitants, allowing them to maintain their religious practices. Additionally, Alexander sought to establish good relations with the Jews, which aligned with his broader strategy of promoting loyalty in conquered territories.
Alexander the Great's conquests brought Hellenistic culture to Judah, leading to significant cultural and political changes. After his death, the Seleucid Empire took control of the region, imposing further Hellenization and often clashing with Jewish traditions, exemplified by the oppressive policies of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. This tension ultimately sparked the Maccabean Revolt, as the Jewish people sought to reclaim their religious practices and independence. The ensuing conflict fostered a stronger sense of Jewish identity and resistance against foreign rule.
