The fall of the western part of the Roman Empire was a factor in the decline in the influence of Greek culture in western Europe. The Romans were deeply Hellenised (influenced by the Greeks). Their art became Greco-Roman and they adopted Greek medicine and two schools of Greek philosophy. After the fall of the western part of the empire Christian western Europeans begun to look on the Romans as pagans and rejected Roman culture and through this knowledge of Greek culture also disappeared.

This did only apply to the eastern part of the Roman Empire. It was not affected by the invasions by the Germanic peoples which led to the fall of the west and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part after the fall of the western part. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. After the fall of the west, this part of the empire became Greek in character. It preserved ancient Greek learning. When Constantinople (the Byzantine capital) fell to the Turks in the 15th century, Byzantine scholars fled to Italy and reintroduced ancient Greek learning in western Europe.

The last invasion that was carried out by Alexander the Great was the invasion of the Indian subcontinent. This occurred in 327 BC.

The empire he took over from the Persians stretched from Libya to Central Asia. He tried to introduce Greek culture (Hellenism) but this touched only the upper classes and the masses continued on with their traditional cultures.

He is thought to have died from a range of diseases. He would jump in ice-cold rivers when it was hot; he had a wound that had nearly killed him a few years earlier, and he was constantly drunk (some people think that one of his beers may have been poisoned).

Well, friend, Alexander the Great was well trained to be a leader because he had a great teacher named Aristotle who taught him about philosophy, politics, and warfare. Alexander also learned a lot from his father, King Philip II of Macedon, who was a skilled military leader. With all this knowledge and guidance, Alexander was able to become a great leader and conquer much of the known world.

After Alexander died, a general named Ptolemy took over as king.

Alexander the Great is depicted as a great military leader because in 13 years he conquered most of the known world, generally in the face of insuperable odds. Many of his tactics are taught in military schools today.

His father drank a lot and did not consider Alexander to be a true son of his, as Alexander was born with a breathing problem. He showed little affection towards Alexander, but his mother loved him throughout his life, though he feared his mother to be the insane sorceress many believed she was. He was also raised by a mother of his friends as a nurse, and she taught him many of the values that made him the great ruler he was.

Alexander the Great was a Greek from Macedonia as Leonidas was a Greek from Sparta as Pericles was a Greek from Athens. Alexander's father was Philip II of Macedonia and his mother the Mollosian princess from Epirus. Macedonia or Macedon (Greek: Μακεδονία, Makedonía; was an ancient Greek in the northern Greek peninsula of Archaic and Classical Greece, and later the dominant state of Hellenistic Greece. Alexander belonged to the Argead dynasty an ancient Greek royal house who were the founders and the ruling dynasty of Macedon from about 700 to 310 BCE. Their tradition, as described in ancient Greek historiography, traced their origins to Argos, in southern Greece, hence the name Argeads or Argives.

The core of Hellenistic culture is Hellenic - Greek. Greek culture and language were spread by the firetrailing victories of Alexander the Great and his Macedonians through the Anatolia, the Middle East, Egypt and Asia. Depending on the area and the kingdom into which the original Macedonian empire split, we have local mixtures of Hellenic (Greek) and Egyptian, as in Alexandria and the rest of Egypt, which was governed by the Ptolemaic Dynasty, Persian and Syrian in the Seleucid empire, and Buddhist infusions in the Indian and Bactrian (Afghanistan-Turkmenistan) cultures that produced the Indo-Greek civilizations of India and Bactria. There is also traces of Thracian in the areas Thrace, as well as Anatolian cultures like Phrygian and Capadocian, among others, which eventually assimilate linguistically, curturally and ethnically into the Hellenic world.
