There was also a reverse influence from Alexander invading India as well. The first sculptures of Buddha were made by Greek artists, for example.

- gumby 9y agoThat’s quite true but I’m talking of a common influence about 1500or more years prior to Alexander. Interestingly the first time I encountered Kartikeya under the name “Skanda” was in fact on a visit to the Bodh Gaya! I guess Alexander was a contemporary or near contemporary of Ashoka. There was a lot of connection between the Greek empire and the Mauryan empire!
