Alexander the great is primarily important because of the impact that he had on the ancient world. His conquests brought Greek culture to most of the known world at that time, and ushered in the Hellenistic period, in which Greek culture was dominant. The Persian empire, which had ruled for hundreds of years, was dissolved, and the kingdoms that resulted from Alexander's conquests would largely remain in place until the Roman conquest. The legends of Alexander himself lived on in many cultures and works, and because of his impact, he is probably the most well-known secular figure in ancient history.
