Quote:
If the
Ptolemies did not found cities in Egypt the way the Seleukids did in Asia and
Asia Minor, they did settle tens of thousands of Greco-Macedonians and other
settlers.

Mainly it
was Greek Macedonians who were settled.

Quote:
An important
feature of Ptolemaic history and historiography has been the dichotomy between Greek and Egyptian cultures.
Modern
scholarship has intimately linked Hellenistic colonization with the Greek side,
with Greek culture. We might then expect new settlements to reflect this
greekness. The city of Alexandria provides a good example. It was a settlement
with a Greek-Macedonian origin.
Its
founder, Alexander the Great, was a Greek-speaking Macedonian, its second
founder Ptolemy I, a Greek Macedonian general; its architects Deinokrates and Sostratos
of Knidos were both Greeks.
The city’s
grid plan was Greek Hippodamian. Ptolemaic colonization which followed might
thus be viewed as a Greek phenomenon owning its origin and structure to Greek
town planning.

Quote:
Alexander III was born on 20 July 356 B.C as heir of
the Argead dynasty of the kingdom of Macedonia in northeastern Greece. His
father, Philip II, was probably the most remarkable Greek military and
political figure between Pericles and Alexander himself.

Philip transformed Macedonia from a minor and
constantly beleaguered state into the mistress of Hellas and created the
magnificent weapon of war – the Macedonian army.

Quote:
The macedonians were Greek in language and blood but
did not share the city-state culture of the southern greeks who were quick to
lump their cruder kinsmen with barbarians.

Quote:
Younger than he,her beauty was already apparent and
intoxicating. She was not the typical Greek woman whose glory was never to be
spoken of. Red-haired and fiery by nature, she was a woman for whom power was
an all-consuming pursuit
