After Alexander the great took over the Persian Empire he began a policy of Hellenisation - his vision of bringing Greek culture to the eastern world to civilise it. His early death cut this short, but his generals carved up his empire amongst themselves and continued the policy of Hellenisation, partly successfully for some regions. 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.
