First the Greeks didn't have an Empire. They had cities-states. They also didn't have just one leader, they all had their independence and helped each other during times of needs and also killed each other. But the Greek City States fell after the Romans started expanding east. Since Greek warfare was based on Phalanx which was a large block of men making a wall of "spears and men".

Since the technique was effective from the front it was slow and easily outmatched from the back.

Since the Romans had to fight in hilly terrains they developed more flexible formations and they could out flank the greeks and kill them.
