BeauThere was never a Greek empire. Alexander the great conquered the vast Persian Empire in 324-330 BC. However, he died young and without heirs in 323 BC. Therefore, his rule over his conquest lasted only seven years. His generals fought civil wars over the partition of Alexander's conquests. Eventually, in 312 BC, the Asian territories were divided into three Greek-ruled states (the Hellenistic states): the Kingdom of Pergamon (in western Turkey) the Seleucid empire, which covered a stretch from central Turkey to Afghanistan, Central Asia, Iraq, Syria and part of Palestine and was centred on Syria) and the Ptolemaic Kingdom (Egypt, eastern Libya, Cyprus, part of Palestine and some territories in Turkey). The Seleucids quickly lost most of their territories to the resurgent Persians.

Art, architecture, literature, science, and the concept of self-government flourished with Greco-Roman civilization. It had some advantages over the civilizations that preceded it, and some advantages over the civilizations that followed it.
