It grew wealthy through its domination of the Delian League and the naval power it boasted in the Mediterranean. However, Greece as a whole was not united until the early 1800s; to that time, it a grouping of separate states or part of a larger empire besides itself.What was the questionWhile there was a temporary Athenian empire, it comprised a fraction of the Greek city-states which were around the Aegean Sea. So it was not a Greek empire - it was the Athenian-dominated anti-Persian league. And the Greece of 1500 years later was certainly not an empire.

Persia had already absorbed the Greek city-states in Asia Minor. These states were restless and encouraged revolts against Persia.

Persia then tried to bring all the Greeks under its control to prevent their constant wars, but failed and eventually left them alone to go back to fighting each other.
