After Alexander the Great conquered Persia, Egypt, and several other countries, the resulting society was known as "Hellenististic". It was a combination of Greek and Asian influences.
Alexander the Great's generals, after his early death at age 33, divided up his empire, establishing their own kingdoms and spreading Greek culture within them. We today call these the Hellenistic Kingdoms (Hellenistic = like Hellenism)
