Alexander’s tutor was the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE) and, as Alexander traveled, he spread Greek thought and culture in his wake, thus "hellenizing" (to make `Greek’ in culture and civilizaion) those he conquered. After Alexander’s death his Empire was divided among his four generals - the Diadochi or Successors.
