Question

In what way did Greece's crushing defeat by Philip II of Macedonia lead to a flowering of Greek culture?

Answer 1

The same way the Mongols conquering China did, the Macedonians assimilated much of their culture into that of Athenian , Philips son Alexander helped further Greek influence through his conquests, creating cities like Alexandria and turning much of the eastern Mediterranean into a bastion of the "western"  world at the time. Not to mention Alexander was educated by Greek Philosipher Aristotle.
