The core of Hellenistic culture is Hellenic - Greek. Greek culture and language were spread by the firetrailing victories of Alexander the great and his Macedonians through the Anatolia, the Middle East, Egypt and Asia. Depending on the area and the kingdom into which the original Macedonian empire split, we have local mixtures of Hellenic (Greek) and Egyptian, as in Alexandria and the rest of Egypt, which was governed by the Ptolemaic Dynasty, Persian and Syrian in the Seleucid empire, and Buddhist infusions in the Indian and Bactrian (Afghanistan-Turkmenistan) cultures that produced the Indo-Greek civilizations of India and Bactria. There is also traces of Thracian in the areas Thrace, as well as Anatolian cultures like Phrygian and Capadocian, among others, which eventually assimilate linguistically, curturally and ethnically into the Hellenic world.
