The Macedonians introduced an overlay of Greek culture on the peoples of disparate areas - Libya, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Persia and, initially at least, as far as Central Asia and the Indus. Under this overlay continued the previous cultures, languages etc, and there was a progressive reversion to them, with only the aristocracies maintaining the Greek culture. Then came the Roman takeover, and it became even more muddled.

In the Classical Era, the Greek world was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states stretching around the Mediterranean and Black sea littorals. In the Hellenistic era, there were several Macedonian-ruled kingdoms - Macedonia, Egypt, Syria, Pergamon and some others which appeared briefly.
