Alexander the great sent many things back to Greece from the lands he conquered and opened up new trade routes. He is credited with things like introducing the "dwarf" apple into Greece for eg.

His main influence on Greek culture, however, was that he spread his Greek culture, language and laws which were absorbed by the nations that came under his reign and whose influence can still be seen today.
