Years: 333BCE - 190BCE
The effects of the Greek occupation are noteworthy, even though Alexander's major plans for Mesopotamia go unfulfilled, and his generals do little that is positive for Mesopotamia.

Alexander and his successors build scores of cities in the Middle East that are modeled on the Greek city-states.

One of the most important is Seleucia on the Tigris.

The Hellenization of the area includes the introduction of Western deities, Western art forms, and Western thought.

Business revives in Mesopotamia because one of the Greek trade routes runs through the new cities.

Mesopotamia exports barley, wheat, dates, wool, and bitumen; the city of Seleucia exports spices, gold, precious stones, and ivory.

Cultural interchange between Greek and Mesopotamian scholars is responsible for the saving of many Mesopotamian scientific, especially astronomical, texts.
