Syria in the Hellenistic Era
The Hellenistic period is the outcome of the merger between Greek Hellenism and the Syrian East as a gate to Asia, as the Hellenistic period begins with the advent of Alexander the Great to Syria in 333 BC and the entry of the Romans in 64 BC.
In a comparison between the two periods, the researcher and investigator, engineer Nihad Samaan, in his lecture, which was called for by the Al-Adiyat Association in Homs, talked about the Syrian civilization in the Hellenistic period, when it was at its most splendid era due to the availability of references and languages, and the survival of a large part of the monuments of the civilizations of that period, despite the distortion of some of them.

He said that Syria has been the cradle of civilizations and the home of wealth, beauty and creative thought because Syria is the land of the sun, rain, fertile soil and the four seasons. Syria is the home of olives, wheat, vines and honey. The Syrian man belonged to his city and society and not to beliefs or clans.
