During the Hellenistic Period, which lasted from Alexander’s death until the first century CE, Greek thought and culture became entwined with that of the indigenous populace, a process which is called Hellenization. In addition to the Hellenistic empires, a new wave of Greek colonization infused these regions with Greek influence.
