About this listen

When Alexander the Great conquered much of the known world, creating an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India, he paved the way for the Hellenistic period.

Forged from Alexander’s empire, this unprecedented contact with cultures far and wide disseminated Greek art, architecture, literature and religious practises, and exposed Greek artistic styles to a host of new exotic influences. When Alexander died in 323 BC, he left this extensive conquered territory without a clear line of succession and his strongest generals divided it up into several vast kingdoms.

In this episode we are joined by Dr John Tidmarsh as he takes a closer look at this fascinating period and the profound impact it had on the Mediterranean world.
