The Hellenistic kings created new cities and military posts. These new Greek communities needed architects, artists, engineers, and philosophers. hellenistic rules encouraged Greeks and Macedonians to settle in the conquered lands. These colonies spread Greek culture widely--into Egypt and India.

Alexander spread Greek culture throughout the Persian Empire, including parts of Asia and Africa. Alexander respected the local cultures he conquered, and allowed their customs to continue. ... Alexander created the Hellenistic Age, a time when Greek culture mixed with the various cultures of Alexander's Empire.
