Alexander the great became the ruler of Europe's first empire but it was his father that united Greece under Macedonian hegemony with plans for a campaign to liberate the Greeks of Asia Minor from Persian yoke under his leadership.
Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others like Athens, in the day of her triumph did to Athens in the Peloponnesian Wars. As the eminent historian, J.B. Bury writes, "Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; As the hegemony or first place among Greek states had passed successively from Athens to Sparta, and to Thebes, so now it passed to Macedon".
Alexander took up the mantle of Philips campaign after his assassination and went on to conquer the Persian Empire which spanned three continents - from Greece in Europe, through Asia to today's Afghanistan, Iran, through the south to Egypt and finally to Pakistan and India.

The Roman empire lasted over a thousand years.The ongoing influence of the two cultures has been significant. Latin became a component of first the languages of Spain, Portugal, France and Itally, which we call Romance languages to acknowledges, and through French and Latin, into the world-wide English language.

Why did it become difficult for the Sassanid Empire to relive the glory of the first Persian Empire?
Alexander the Great had conquered the Persian Empire, and on his death it was dividedup by his generals into the Hellenistic Kingdoms - principally Macedonia, Egypt and Syria, plus transitory ones in Asia Minor. This took away the entire western half of the old Persian Empire. And as the power of the Hellenistic Kingdoms waned, it was replaced by the expansion of a rising Rome. In addition, the Indian sub-continent was taken over by rising powers there. So the richest parts of the Persian Empire were permanently denied to Sassanid expansion.
