When the Roman Empire of the West fell, in 476, the Roman Empire of the East remained intact. Greece was at the center of this empire and the language of commerce through the whole empire was Greek. This empire, which continued to call itself the Empire of the Roman People, is what we call the Byzantine Empire today. It continued as an empire in its own right until 1453.
It was a place of high literacy, and where great achievements were made in art and science. But it was also a place besieged, first by Muslims, and then by the crusaders who came to fight the Muslims, and pretty much trashed the Byzantine Empire. The history was a long set of setbacks, with a few intermittent successes, until it came to an end.
