Hellenistic Greek refers to a form of the Greek language that was spoken and written during the Hellenistic period, which lasted from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC to the annexation of Greece by Rome in 146 BC. This form of Greek was heavily influenced by the languages and cultures of the regions that were conquered by Alexander, resulting in a unique blend of Greek, Persian, Egyptian, and other languages. Hellenistic Greek was used in literature, philosophy, and everyday communication throughout the vast empire of Alexander and his successors.
