- It seems likely that Alexander himself pursued deliberate "Hellenization" policies.While these policies could have been an attempt to spread Greek culture, it is more likely that his policies were a series of pragmatic measures designed to aid in the rule of his enormous empire.
- These policies can also be interpreted as the result of Alexander's probable megalomania during his later years.
- Thus, though Alexander's policies did undoubtedly result in the spread of Greek culture, they probably were meant to be pragmatic attempts by Alexander to control his extensive new territories, in part by presenting himself as the heir to both Greek and Asian legacies, rather than an outsider.
- After Alexander's death in 323 BCE, the empire was split under his generals.Most of Alexander's cultural changes were rejected by the Diadochi, including the cross-cultural marriages they entered into.However, the influx of Greek colonists into the new realms continued to spread Greek culture into Asia.The founding of new cities continued to be a major part of the Diadochi's struggle for control of any particular region, and these continued to be centres of cultural diffusion.The spread of Greek culture under the Successors seems mostly to have occurred with the spreading of Greeks themselves, rather than as an active policy.
