The three Hellenistic kingdoms—the Seleucid Empire, the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, and the Antigonid Kingdom of Macedon—eventually fell into decline due to internal strife, external pressures, and the rise of Rome. The Seleucid Empire fragmented into smaller states, while the Ptolemaic Kingdom was weakened by succession crises and Roman intervention. The Antigonid Kingdom faced similar challenges and was ultimately conquered by the Romans in 168 BCE. By the end of the 1st century BCE, all three kingdoms were fully absorbed into the Roman Empire.
Antipatrid, Antigonid, Argead Dynasties.
Alexander's the Great heir was his son Alexander IV who was born after his death. The day of his death though he left his empire [τω κρατίστω - the strongest] therefore his marshals battled among themselves to take the power of the regions they were appointed to govern. After 60 years of conflict finally the empire was split in three major empires. They were the Antigonid Empire in Greece, the Seleucid Empire in Mesopotamia and Persia, the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, Palestine and Cyrenaica [current Libya].
After Alexander the Great's death in 323 BCE, his empire was divided among his generals. However, there was no single new king who succeeded him. The empire was divided into multiple territories ruled by different kings and dynasties, including the Antigonid dynasty in Macedonia, the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, and the Seleucid dynasty in Persia.
After Alexander the Great's death, his vast empire was divided among his generals, leading to the formation of three major kingdoms: the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, the Seleucid Empire in Persia, and the Antigonid Kingdom in Macedon. These kingdoms are referred to as Hellenistic because they were heavily influenced by Greek culture, language, and governance, which spread throughout the regions Alexander conquered. The term "Hellenistic" reflects the blending of Greek and local cultures that occurred during this period, showcasing the lasting impact of Alexander's conquests.
Antigonid dynasty was created in 306.

Macedomia, Syria in the east, the kingdoms of Pergamum in western Asia Minor, and Egypt.
After Alexander the Great's death in 323 BCE, his vast empire fragmented into four major kingdoms due to power struggles among his generals, known as the Diadochi. These kingdoms were the Seleucid Empire, which controlled much of the eastern territories; the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt; the Antigonid Kingdom in Macedonia and parts of Greece; and the Lysimachian Kingdom in Thrace. Over time, these kingdoms experienced internal conflicts and external pressures, leading to their decline and eventual absorption by emerging powers, including Rome and Parthia. The cultural and political legacies of these kingdoms, however, significantly influenced the regions they governed.
No, and sort of yes.This is a simplistic treatment. Geographically speaking, Egypt and Greece are separated by the Mediterranean Sea. Culturally, they are different, but share some of the same roots. Historically, they are even more connected: Egypt was the southern portion of the empire Alexander of Macedonia conquered. After his death, succession was juggled a bit, but settled into four empires: Ptolemaic Egypt under Alexander's former general Ptolemy I Soter, the Near Eastern Seleucid Empire of Seleucus I Nicator (General of Alexander's infantry), the city of Pergamom ruled by Lysimachus, and finally the Antigonid Dynasty ruled first by Antigonus I Monophthalmus over Asia Minor and northern Syria. Alexander's conquest of Egypt brought Greek and Egyptian culture together, essentially merging the two in the latter centuries before the rise of the Roman Empire.
