After Alexander the great's death, his Macedonian generals divided his empire up amongst themselves, forming several kingdoms.
Alexander had begun the process of introducing Greek (Hellenic) culture throughout the empire, which they attempted to continue on where it suited them. So Hellenic culture was spread over the previous cultures - but only a veneer so we today call it Hellenistic (partly Hellenic) rather then true/full Hellenic (Greek).
As time went on the veneer wore this, and the eastern part in particular reverted to the old ways, or new cultures emerged. After 146 BCE Roman expansion began to take over the east politically, though not the culture.
