8. Hellenistic art is the art of the period in classical
antiquity generally taken to begin with the death
of Alexander the Great in 323 BC and end with
the conquest of the Greek world by the Romans, a
process well underway by 146 BCE, when the Greek
mainland was taken, and essentially ending in 30 BCE
with the conquest of Ptolemaic Egypt.
10. The term Hellenistic is a modern
invention; the Hellenistic
World not only included a huge
area covering the whole of the
Aegean, rather than the Classical
Greece focused on
the Poleis of Athens and Sparta,
but also a huge time range.
In artistic terms this means that
there is huge variety which is
often put under the heading of
"Hellenistic Art" for convenience.

DynastyArgeadFatherPhilip II of MacedonMotherOlympias of EpirusReligionGreek polytheismAlexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 BC – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great(Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας, Aléxandros ho Mégas [a.lék.san.dros ho mé.gas] ), was a King (Basileus) of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon[a] and a member of the Argead dynasty. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne at the age of twenty. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India.[1][2] He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders.[3]
Alexander the Great
and his armies conquered much of the known world, creating an empire that stretched from Greece and Asia Minor through Egypt and the Persian empire in the Near East to India. This unprecedented contact with cultures far and wide disseminated Greek culture and its arts, and exposed Greek artistic styles to a host of new exotic influences. The death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C. traditionally marks the beginning of the Hellenistic period.
