Once much of the PersianEmpire fell under his control, he advanced into India.Unexpectedly in 323 B.C., Alexander died at the ageof 33 in Persia from a fever.Although his empire collapsed soon after, he iscredited with spreading Greek culture from Egypt tothe borders of India.Local people assimilated, or absorbed, Greek ideas. Inturn, Greek settlers adopted local customs. Gradually,a new Hellenistic culture emerged that blended Greek,Persian, Egyptian, & Indian influences.At the very heart of the Hellenistic world stood themagnificent city of Alexandria, founded in Egypt byAlexander. Its great library was among the greatestscientific & cultural centers of the age.Like Alexandria, cities of the Hellenistic worldemployed many architects & artists.
