The Macedonian king who loved Greek culture and planned to conquer Persia was Alexander the Great. He admired Greek arts and philosophy, which influenced his approach to leadership and governance. Alexander's military campaigns led him to create one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Greece to parts of India, with a significant focus on spreading Hellenistic culture. His conquests began with the defeat of the Persian Empire, fulfilling his ambition to unite the Greek city-states against a common enemy.
Rome grew up on Etruscan and Latin culture, until the made contact with the Greek culture, first with the Greek cities in southern Italy, then in Sicily , and more so when they moved into Greece. Most of the aristocracy of Rome were philhellene (loved things Greek) though they didn't think much of the Greeks as people - easy beats and slaves. They looted the Greek world pretty thoroughly for artifacts, and copied its building, philosophy, rhetoric and arts.
The Greek Gods and Goddesses have Roman counterparts because when the Roman civilization was formed, they adopted Greece's deities. They simply renamed them and edited them to suit their civilization.
Zeus was both feared and loved in ancient Greek mythology. As the king of the gods, he commanded immense power and authority, which instilled fear among mortals and deities alike due to his ability to punish and bring storms. However, he was also revered and loved for his role as a protector of justice and order, often seen as a benevolent figure who upheld social norms and ensured the welfare of his people. This duality made him a complex and pivotal figure in Greek religion and culture.
Aphrodite is the Greek name and she is the Greek goddess. The Romans just loved Greece and copied aspects of them, renaming Aphrodite to Venus.

Macedonians were Greeks, so i guess that everyone of them loved their own culture.
Although a Macedonian, he was raised in Greek culture under the tutorship of Aristotle.
Greek culture.
Aristotle, who was a Greek philosopher. Aristotle was a protege to Plato, whose mentor was Socrates. These three great thinkers were all Greek, and that is the reason why Alexander the Great loved Greek Culture so much. (He was Macedonian.) That's a common misconception about Alexander. People think that he was Greek; he was not. Alexander was a Macedonian prince, son of Phillip II, and he was influenced by Aristotle.

Because he loved the greek culture and wanted to spread it allover
The Greek myths are older than the roman. When the Romans came in contact with Greek culture they loved every part of it and applied much of the Greek myths to their own gods.
