Best Answer

There was no Greek Empire. The Greek world was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states. Alexander, king of Macedonia which was not a Greek state, conquered the Persian Empire in a 10 year campaign; he died after that. His generals divided the conquered territories into kingdoms of their own.
