This led to the creation of Hellenistic states in the territories he conquered: the kingdom of Pergamon in Western Turkey, the Seleucid Empire in most of the Asian territories and the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt.

Why would Alexander the Great call his three kingdomes Hellenistic?

He didn't - as far as he was concerned there was only his one kingdom. After his death, his generals fought over the spoils and created their own kingdoms. We call these kingdoms today Hellenistic because the local cultures of these kingdoms were merged with Hellenic (Greek) culture and civilization creating a fusion of the two - which is why we use Hellenistic (like Greek) rather then Hellenic (Greek).


Who is the conqueror most responsible for the spread of Greek culture?

It covered Turkey, Armenia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan up to the river Indus, Tajikistan, Kirghistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, part of Kazakhstan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine Jordan and Egypt. Alexander died a few years after his conquests. These were divided into the kingdom of Pergamon in western Turkey, the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt and the Seleucid Empire, which covered the rest. These kingdoms were ruled by Greeks and have been called Hellenistic states by Historians. This started the Hellenistic period, which was a period in which the Middle East became influenced by Greek culture. The term Hellenistic is derived from Hellas, the Greek name for Greece.
