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.

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.

During the Hellenistic Period (roughly the fourth century BC through the first century BC) Greek culture spread throughout the Mediterranean, first by Alexander the Great's conquest, then by the Roman empire.
The term "Hellenistic" refers to the period following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE when his vast empire was divided among his generals, known as the Diadochi. The three main kingdoms that emerged from this division were the Seleucid Empire in Asia, the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt, and the Antigonid Kingdom in Macedon and Greece. These kingdoms were called Hellenistic because they adopted and spread Greek culture, language, and customs throughout their territories, blending them with local traditions to create a unique hybrid culture.
Hellenistic is derived from the Greek's own, self described name "Hellens" so it just means Greek. It is mostly used to describe Ancient Greek History and Culture. They both allowed males to vote.
The Hellenistic period followed Alexander the great conquered of the Persian empire. including Egypt The Greeks founded cities in the conquered areas which led to Greek influence on the Persians and Egyptians. At the same time the Persians and Egyptians had some influence on the Greeks. An Indo-Greek kingdom was formed. In Egypt the Greek ruling dynasty, the Ptolemies) portrayed themselves as pharaohs and adopted elements of Egyptian culture. In the Indo-Greek kingdom some kings converted to Buddhism
Hellenistic civilisation was the result of Alexander the Great's conquest of the Persian Empire, which included Turkey, the Middle East, Persia, Afghanistan, Pakistan west of the river Indus, Central Asia and Egypt.
