Why did the Persian Empire feel so threatened by the expansion of ancient Grecce?
Greece was in fact the word used for over 2,000 independent city-states. Persia expanded its empire to take in the Greek cities in Asia Minor. Then when the cities in mainland Greece began to interfere on the side of their daughter-cities in Asia Minor, Persia attempted to bring those cities within its empire to keep them quiet. It failed in this after 50 years of war, gave up and turned back to ruling its original empire in Asia. The disruption from the Greek cities and their continuing warfare between each other. This led Persia to impose the King's Peace, threatening retribution to any further disruptions. This ended when Macedonia came to dominate Greece, and then used these resources to invade and takeover Persia under the leadership of Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia.

One thing you must keep in mind; and it is the fact that former Cathay is today's China doesn't mean that the territory is exactly the same as today. Cathay was a tad smaller than today's China. About Iran, today it is smaller than Persia was. Hope this helps.

Was Queen Cleopatra the wife of rames iii?
No, she lived many hundreds of years after Ramses III. Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt. As was common in Egyptian royalty, she married her brother, but soon got rid of him so she could rule by herself. She carried on love affairs with Julius Caesar, and also Marc Anthony, in an attempt to keep the Egyptian state going and to keep Rome from taking over. She had a son with Caesar, but after Caesar was assassinated in 44BC, her son didn't really have much to go on power-wise. She was Greek, descended from Ptolemy, one of Alexander the Great's generals, who was given charge of Egypt after Alexander's death. She and Mark Anthony were defeated in battle by Octavian, another of Caesar's sons who became an Emperor of Rome. She then committed suicide by letting a poisonous snake bite her.

Was Alexander the great necessary for the great empire?
While Alexander's personality certainly helped the Macedonian Empire to emerge, the background work was first done by his father (Phillip). Phillip unified Macedonia into a kingdom after his brother's death & subsequent collapse of the country using both military and diplomatic means, defeating the Paionians, Athenians, Thracians and Potiaea before marrying Olympias, Alexander's mother. Through these means Alexander was able to inherit a ready-made kingdom. When Phillip was assassinated in 336 BC Alexander took the throne and inherited a strong kingdom with an experienced army and a ready-made plan for invading Persia and freeing the Ionian states. This, along with his arrogent and ambitious personality (encouraged by both parents), combined with his excellent skills as a General (Leonidas tutored him as a child, as did Aristotle), was what led to the contribution of the Great Empire of Alexander. It is feasable that were Alexander not the man he had been, he could have managed to keep the Macedonian Empire as strong as Phillip left it however had Alexander been different he may not have succeeded his father at all.
