Empire?The Greeks had no empire. We are technically wrong to call them Greeks collectively. They were either Athenians or Thebans or Spartans etc.

Athens built a sort of empire through intimidating those in the Delian league into becoming their vassals, regularly paying tribute of grain.

Actually the Athenians did have an empire, it was called the 'Delian League,' established after the Persian Wars ended in 479 BC. Athens was the leader, and exacted tribute from the other members scattered around the Aegean. In effect, it was an empire, but it ended after the Peloponnesian Wars from 431-404 BC.

Their reasons of success:

Every civilization had its own speciality. The Sumerians invented the wheel. The chinease invented paper. the idus valley people had a drainage syatem that was not inferior to todat's modern underground drainage system. i think that like the aryans the Greeks were excellent in warfare and they good techniques of warfare. besides there was less corruption, the rulers were devoted to their work, and the blacksmith produced good armoury for their soldiers.
