What happened to Alexander the Great's kingdom after his death?

After Alexander the Great completed his conquest and died at age thirty-three, his kingdom was divided between four generals. This Greek kingdom, depicted as the brass kingdom in the vision, did not remain unified after his death but was split among those four leaders.

Les teaches that the next kingdom after Mede-Persia was Greece under Alexander the Great. As soon as Alexander completed his conquest at the age of 33, he died, and his kingdom was divided between four generals. This follows the sequence of kingdoms in the vision: Babylon was the head of gold under one absolute ruler; Mede-Persia was inferior and had two kings, Darius and Cyrus, who had to agree before acting; then Greece came on the scene, but Alexander's realm did not continue as one unified kingdom after his death.
