Two cities in northeast Africa that were Greek colonies are Alexandria and Cyrene. Alexandria, founded by Alexander the great in 331 BC, became a major center of trade and learning. Cyrene, established earlier in the 7th century BC, was known for its rich agricultural land and cultural contributions. Both cities played significant roles in the spread of Hellenistic culture in the region.
