GREEK NATIONAL FLAG

The word Greek, according to Aristotle, comes from the word "Graikoi" which was the pre-historic name of the Hellenes. The people who we call the Greeks, and live in a country we call Greece, actually call themselves Hellenes and live in a country called Hellas.

The great centres of Hellenistic culture were Alexandria and Antioch, capitals of Ptolemaic Egypt ad Seleucid Syria respectively. the Hellenistic period describes the era which followed the conquests of Alexander the Great. during this time, Greek cultural influence and power was at its zenith in Europe and Asia. It is often considered a period of transition. Almost the decline between the brilliance of the Greek Classical Era and the emergence of the Roman Empire. At about 281 BC the situation had stabilised, resulting in four major domains.

The Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt based at Alexandria.

The Seleucid dynasty in Syria and Mesopotamia based in Antioch.

The Attalid dynasty in Anatolia based at Pergamum.
