No one expended the Greek empire because there was not a Greek empire. Alexander the Great, the king of Macedon, with allied Greek city-states conquered the Persian Empire. After his death his generals fought each other. This resulted in the division of Alexander's conquests into the Kingdom of Pergamon, the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Kingdom.
Roman Empire, Greek Empire, and Persian Empire
Not sure what you mean by "new." Historically, it would be Byzantium. The Byzantine or Eastern Roman Empire began with the Roman Emperor Constantine I in the 4th Century CE; as Western Europe was collapsing into the Dark Ages, he moved the (his new) Roman capitol to the location of Byzantium in Turkey; to become the great city of Constantinople (known today as Istanbul). It continued on as the premier power center of civilization & culture of the Eastern Mediterranean for about a 1000 years, until it was conquered by the Ottomans...
The only Greek Empire was the one created by Alexander the Great. It was not a successful empire, as it did not survive his death.

There never was a Greek empire.
Greek culture significantly influenced Western Europe through the spread of Hellenistic ideas, art, philosophy, and political thought, particularly after the conquests of Alexander the Great. The Roman Empire adopted and adapted Greek culture, which included literature, architecture, and governance, helping to disseminate these ideas across Europe. The Renaissance further revived Greek philosophy and aesthetics, leading to a profound impact on European art, science, and intellectual life. As a result, many foundational concepts of Western civilization, including democracy and rationalism, can be traced back to ancient Greek culture.
The official language in the western Roman Empire was Latin. Latin was also the official language of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, together with Greek. This was because it was the language of the Romans.

Though the byzantine empire was ruled by roman low and roman political institutions and the official language was latin, greek was widely spoken and students received education in greek history, literature and culture. And as the centuries went by, greek language took its place in the public administration of the byzantine empire alongside with the latin and in many occasions it substituted it.
After taking over western Europe, the Romans turned east and progressively incorporated the Greek world into their empire.
