Essential Question: What was the impact of the spread of Hellenic culture under Alexander the Great? Warm-Up Question: What are the top 3 Greek innovations? Explain how our world is better because of these 3 achievements.

Ancient Greece Mountains divided the Greeks into independent city-states, like Athens & Sparta Access to the sea increased trade & cultural diffusion (sharing ideas) with other cultures

The Greek city-states, especially Athens, developed cultural innovations that are still used today which transformed Greece into a “classical civilization”

Greek wealth & innovation made it a target to outside invasion; From 493 B.C. to 479 B.C., Persian kings Darius & Xerxes tried (but failed) to conquer the Greeks in the Persian Wars

The Peloponnesian Wars left the Greeks weak & open to invasion After the Persian Wars, the Greek city-states, led by rivals Athens & Sparta, fought each other in the Peloponnesian Wars

In 338 B.C., King Philip II of Macedonia attacked & conquered the Greeks, but he died soon after Macedonians viewed themselves as Greeks & shared much of their culture; King Philip II hired Aristotle to tutor his son Alexander

King Alexander of Macedonia Alexander was only 20 years old when he became king of Macedonia: But he proved to be ambitious & a brilliant military strategist Once in power, Alexander began to expand his empire

The Empire of Alexander the Great Alexander began his conquest by crushing a Greek revolt in Thebes; He ordered the death of 6,000 people & sold everyone else into slavery; His brutality convinced other Greeks to not rebel Alexander set his sights on the Persian Empire & began his attack by conquering Egypt; Egyptians viewed Alexander as a liberator

The Empire of Alexander the Great In 331 B.C., Alexander attacked & defeated the mighty Persian army led by King Darius III Alexander destroyed the capital of Persepolis Alexander led his army to conquer India; After taking the Indus River Valley, Alexander’s troops begged him to return home after 11 years away from their homes while conquering the empire

The Empire of Alexander the Great By 323 B.C., Alexander had conquered a massive empire & began plans to govern & unify his kingdom, but he fell ill & died at the age of 32 By the spring of 323 B.C., Alexander and his army had reached Babylon. Restless as always, Alexander announced plans to organize and unify his empire. He would construct new cities, roads, and harbors and conquer Arabia. However, Alexander never carried out his plans. He became seriously ill with a fever and died a few days later. He was just 32 years old.

Alexander left behind an important legacy: He spread Hellenic (Greek) innovations & culture throughout his empire In each territory he conquered, Alexander left behind a Greek-styled city named Alexandria

Alexandria in Egypt was the most significant of these cities & best represented Hellenism (the spread & blending of Greek culture ) Alexandria became the center for Hellenistic culture & trade for the Mediterranean world Alexandria had a museum & library that preserved Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Indian cultures & attracted scholars for centuries

Alexandria Egypt

When Alexander died without an heir, his empire was divided among his top 3 generals Alexander's empire was the largest of the classical era, but it was short-lived (13 years) & was never unified or governed

Summary of Alexander the Great: He was a military genius & well educated His interest in Greek history & culture as well as Persian, Egyptian, & Indian ideas led to a vibrant new culture, Hellenism, that shaped future civilizations But, his empire did not last long enough to compete with future empires, such as those ruled by Rome and the Mongols
