Outcome: Alexander the Great & Hellenistic Culture Classical Greece Outcome: Alexander the Great & Hellenistic Culture

Alexander the Great Setting the Stage: Macedonia Located north of Greece, Macedonia had a rough terrain and cold climate People lived in mountain villages instead of city-states Many Macedonians though of themselves as Greeks, however… The Greeks looked down upon them as uncivilized foreigners

Philip II of Macedonia

Philip II Philip II of Macedonia Philip II became king of Macedonia in 359 B.C. at age 23 Trained rugged peasants into a professional army which consisted of: Phalanx (16 x 16 men) Each soldier carried an 18 foot pike Fast moving cavalry (soldiers on horseback) Philip invades Greece, but not to destroy or enslave the Greeks

Philip II Battle of Chaeronea: Athens & Thebes joined forces to fight Philip’s army Philip’s army is too powerful and defeats the Greeks Ends Greek independence; Philip controls Greece Philip next sets out to defeat the mighty Persian Empire but won’t… Philip stabbed to death in 336 B.C. at his daughter’s wedding

Oliver Stone’s Alexander

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great Alexander the Great Background Takes over at age 20 after the death of his father Philip II Taught by Aristotle: learned science, geography & literature Enjoyed Homer’s description of the heroic deeds of Achilles during the Trojan Wars Killed 6,000 Thebans in a rebellion; cruelty frightened Greeks into accepting Alexander as their leader

Alexander the Great How Alexander defeats the Persians Philip wanted to conquer Persia, never had the chance Alexander leads 35,000 troops into Anatolia (Turkey) Met 40,000 Persians at Granicus River, Alexander’s army attacks first and is victorious Darius III responds with army of 50,000-75,000 Macedonians break through weak point, Darius III flees Result: Alexander has control of Anatolia

Alexander the Great Persia: Egypt 332 B.C. Alexander marches into Persian controlled Egypt Welcomed by the Egyptians as a liberator, crowned pharaoh Result: Alexander has control of Egypt

Alexander the Great Persia: Mesopotamia Battle of Gaugamela: 250,000 Persians under Darius III Alexander launched a massive phalanx attack followed by a cavalry charge and the Persian lines crumbled Again Darius III flees in battle Result: Alexander has control of all of the Persian Empire!!

Alexander’s Empire

Alexander the Great Other Conquests Travels east to India- finds out Darius III was murdered Soldiers exhausted- 11 years, 11,000 miles- turn back home

Alexander the Great Alexander dies from illness at age of 32, very young

Alexander the Great Legacy Now what? Empire broken into 3 main territories Would last for centuries

Hellenism Hellenism Hellenistic Culture: blending of Egyptian, Persian, Greek and Indian influences Would forever transform Greece and Asia

Hellenism Alexandria Center for trade 350 ft light house- first ever Library with 250,000 scrolls; learning becomes a commodity

Hellenism Science and Technology Euclid: book The Elements became basis for geometry Archimedes: accurately estimated Pi (3.14) Hero: used steam power

Alexander the Great Result: Through Philip II’s and Alexander’s conquests of the Greeks, Egyptians, & Persians, ideas would spread and cultures would combine in a way that had never been seen before. After Alexander’s death, the Greek Civilization would gradually decline until many of their achievements and ideas would be absorbed into perhaps the greatest example of Hellenism in history: The Roman Empire.
