paki · Answer

yeah agree with c... he permitted Greek culture in his empire as a civilizing influence. The Jewish upper classes readily took up this attractive chance. The biblical Book of Maccabees even records them having an operation to reverse circumcision so that they would not appear mutilated when at the baths which were part of the Greek culture they adopted.
