How were the Greeks finally defeated?
Do you mean when they were conquered by the Romans at the battle of Corinth in 146 BC? Or are you counting their defeat by Philip of Macedon at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC? Since the Macedonians spoke the same language, they could be called Greeks. That would mean Alexander's successor kingdoms were Greek and were defeated by Rome one by one. The last one to hold out was Egypt. Cleopatra was defeated by Augustus at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

When Athens defeated the Persians, which the Greeks called The Medes, Darius swore to return with overwhelming force, but he died before he could do so.
