I answered a question stating 'How were Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Phillip II, and Alexander the Great associated?' The the question after that asks 'What effect does this have on the Greek World?' I can't seem to find the answer for the second question, and for the first question, I put 'Alexander the Great was associated with Phillip II because he was his father. The way Alexander the Great was associated with Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle was through the teachings. Socrates taught Plato, Plato taught Aristotle, and Aristotle taught Alexander the Great.'

Another detail to the first part is:

Aristotle's father, Nichomachus, was the personal physician of the king of Macedonia who was Amyntas II. Amyntas was the father of Philip of Macedonia and the grandfather of Alexander the Great.

The effect that this had on the Greek World can be summed up by looking at what Alexander the Great did:
He was a pupil of Aristotle until 336 B.C. when he had to take his father's place as king of because he was killed. This same Alexander conquered all of Greece and overthrew the Persian Empire at the battle of Granicus and Issus. He also Invaded northern India. He was known as Alexander the Great, one of the greatest generals of all time. Given that he was taught by Aristotle, and the link you described of the philosophers, shows an enormous impact on the Greek World.
