How Did Hellenistic Culture Start?


Hellenistic culture first started when King Phillip the Second conquered Ancient Greece. King Phillip was then killed by one of his body guards because he thought he was unstoppable. Then the body guard was killed. After Phillip the second was killed his son Alexander The Great took over. Alexander the great said that he was going to finsh what his father started. Alexander had the best bodyguards. The only thing he didnt have was the navy ships. Alexander the great conqured new lands including Persia, Egypt and all the land to India. The combination of all conquered cultures formed a new culture called the Hellenistic Culture.
