the greek always controlled the sea's around Greece until King philippus 2 king of Macedonia conquered Greece. his son Alexander 3 or "Alexander the great" conquered Persia, Egypt, etc..., eveything from Greece to the Indus river. He got ill there and died some time later. His imense empire was shared among his generals.( one of the most known is Ptolemae who received Egypt, this new dynasty is known as the Ptolemae dynasty, Cleopatre was the last Ptolemae ruler.) this made Alexander's great Greek empire fall apart but the greek influences stayed there for a long time, you can even know find some of these Greek remainings in the Middle East. But if u want to hear the hole story you should read a history book.lavantas was also the great father of greek culture in their time period as they began to study the ways life was. you can find lots of recent dicoveries from this in our time periods.
