Alexander the Great
Strictly following the wording of the question, there is no such person. Greece never expanded beyond the Aegean and surrounding territories. However, the Macedonian Empire, which is often incorrectly called "Greek" since its culture was strongly influenced by that of Greece, did conquer Greece AND the Middle East, Egypt, and Persia. The leader of the Macedonian Empire at that time was ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
He conquered the Persian Empire from Libya to Central Asia. He conquered it for himself, not for Greece, which he controlled. He was Macedonian, and it was his empire, not Greece, which was a collection of independent city-states, which his father had taken control of, and passed it on the Alexander.

Ancient Greece was divided into city-states and leagues which continually vied for power with each other, but one of them ever became strong enough to control all of Greece. Later Greece was controlled by the Macedonian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Finally in the 19th Century Greece became an independent country which controlled itself, and a united country for the first time in history.
