What was the Hellenistic civilization Why was the Hellenistic civilization important.?

The Hellenistic civilisation was established in the the kingdoms which Alexander's generals established from his empire after his death. They established kingdoms of their own from the ex-Persian empire which Alexander had seized, settling down after much infighting to Egypt, Macedonia, Syria and Pergamon. The word Hellenistic means 'like Hellenic' as it affected only the Macedonian and Greek upper classes, the mass of people continuing their own cultures. Hellenes and Hellenic is what the Greeks called themselves - the word Greek was bestowed on them by Rome.


Why would Alexander the Great call his three kingdomes Hellenistic?

He didn't - as far as he was concerned there was only his one kingdom. After his death, his generals fought over the spoils and created their own kingdoms. We call these kingdoms today Hellenistic because the local cultures of these kingdoms were merged with Hellenic (Greek) culture and civilization creating a fusion of the two - which is why we use Hellenistic (like Greek) rather then Hellenic (Greek).
