The Ptolemaic Empire was a Hellenistic kingdom based in Egypt, founded by Ptolemy I Soter after the death of Alexander the great in 323 BCE. It is known for its cultural achievements, including the Library of Alexandria, and lasted until the Roman conquest in 30 BCE. The Seleucid Empire, established by Seleucus I Nicator, encompassed a vast territory across the Near East, including parts of modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Iran, also emerging after Alexander's death. Both empires were characterized by the blending of Greek and local cultures but eventually declined due to internal strife and external pressures.
