During the Hellenistic period, which followed the conquests of Alexander the Great, there was a significant cultural fusion as Greek culture spread across the Mediterranean and into Asia. This era saw the rise of new philosophies, such as Stoicism and Epicureanism, and advancements in science and art, exemplified by figures like Archimedes and the sculptural developments in cities like Alexandria. Additionally, political structures shifted, with the emergence of powerful kingdoms and a decline in the city-state model of governance prevalent in classical Greece. Overall, the Hellenistic period marked a blend of Greek and local cultures, leading to a rich, diverse cultural landscape.

Alexander conquered the Persian Empire using the sarissa (lance) and attempted to bring it towards Greek-like (Hellenistic) culture.
