RE: ADSactly Art History - The Reign of Alexander The Great as a Catalyst For The Impact Of Greek Culture on the Areas of the Middle East

in #history7 years ago

very interesting description! I liked the way you use historical facts. Culture is of great importance in the lives of people from the past and modern people. Throughout history, transformations have taken place in art. You show it to us perfectly. But the same effect was exerted on individual people. The Hellenistic culture was influenced by its great founder - Alexander the Great or Alexander the Great.

This is the man who left his big mark in history. This is a great man of the time that people of the present and future know and will know about. He spread his influence over many lands. The peculiarity of Alexander the Great as ruler was that he accepted the traditions and beliefs of the conquered territories. He did not try to plant his culture and even sometimes left governors and former rulers governors. Such a policy prevented a surge of uprisings of conquered territories. But it every year more and more caused discontent among compatriots. The same system was later used by Roman emperors.

I liked your message. Knowledge of history and art is important for modern people.

Here is something from one of the books i have quoted in my previous works.

"Greeks had to be treated as equal (...). On the other hand, the Asians reacted only to the harsh despotism and only they felt respect from him. (...) [This teaching] Alexander mastered too much. (...) used it for each individual or group (...). - (Green, 1970: 64)
