He didn't adopt another land's culture because ancient Macedonia was Greek as was Athens or Sparta. From (former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia) of today is a former country of the united Yugoslavia inhabited by Slavs that speak a Serbobulgarian language and have nothing to do with him. Ancient Macedonia's kingdom 90% percent territory is in modern northern Greek periphery of Macedonia. Of course Alexander spread-ed Greek culture and civilization.'
