Hellenization (or Hellenisation) is a historical term most widely used to describe a growing
cultural influence of
Hellenistic civilization. It was most prominently achieved under
Alexander III of
Macedon who spread Greek language, culture and religion to the lands he conquered. The result, some elements of Greek origin combined in various forms and degrees with other elements taken from conquered civilizations, is known as
Hellenism.
