Source Analysis: Alexander's Influence on Hellenistic Culture
Source A: Description of Hellenistic Culture by a Greek Historian
"Following Alexander's conquests, the fusion of Greek customs with those of the peoples he had conquered led to a new, vibrant culture. This Hellenistic culture embraced art, science, and philosophy, blending Greek traditions with local influences from Egypt, Persia, and India. The cities founded by Alexander, such as Alexandria, became centers of learning and innovation, symbolizing a cosmopolitan world that valued diversity and knowledge. This era marked a significant shift from the classical Greek ideals to a more worldly and interconnected society." Provenance: Polybius, 2nd century BCE, historical account
