333 BCE to 190 BCE

The conquests of Alexander the Great, who at the time of his death in 323 has conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks, his empire replacing that of the defeated Persians, initiate the Hellenistic Age, when many people who are not Greek themselves adopt Greek philosophy and styles, Greek urban life, and aspects of the Greek religion.

The Wars of the Diadochi, the rival successors of Alexander, follow his death.
