Alexander the Great

Hellenistic culture started when King Phillip II conquered ancient Greece. Then King Phillip II got killed by his bodyguard. Then his son Alexander the Great took over his fathers position and conquered ancient Egypt, Persia, and Greece. One technique Alexander the Great use to conquer enemies is the siege tower. Hellenistic culture is the combination of ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, and Persia. Hellenistic culture happened because Alexander the Great conquered all three of the countries and made it one religion.
