His three wishes were:
1) "My first desire is that", said Alexander, "My physicians alone must" carry my coffin."
2) After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury".
3) The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin".

My Three Wishes
1) " I wish to be buried under a tree so, that I can be visited by people and they wouldn't even know I was hanging out with them."
2) " I wish to have my family be happy and loved by others while I'm gone"
3) " I wish to have my stuff and fortunes go to my mother, because she gives so much to me and I want to return the favor."

Hellenistic Culture
The Hellenistic World is the known world after the conquests of Alexander the Great and corresponds roughly with the Hellenistic Period of ancient Greece (Alexander’s death) to the invasion of Greece by Rome (although Rome’s rule ended Greek independence and autonomy it did nothing to significantly change nor did it in any way halt the Hellenization of the world of the day).
