The ruler fought in battels and won so the people like him and voted him ruler 4 life and he took control of every thing and started concurring empires!!
Practically the Romans won since they had a stronger and bigger army.
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.
AnswerThe Byzantine empire was known, interestingly, as both the Second Roman Empire and the Second Greek Empire. It was the successor to the Roman Empire (being the Eastern Roman Empire, with the Western half having fallen), but by a short while after being separated from the West Roman Empire, it was controlled mostly by the Greeks - the capital, even, being the Greek City of Byzantian/Byzantium (named after the founder of the city, Byzas), being renamed to Constantinople after the emperor Constantine.4
Roman Empire, Greek Empire, and Persian Empire
The Eastern Roman Empire is known as Byzantine Empire. However, this is a term which had been coined by historians. So are the term Eastern Roman Empire and Western Roman Empire. The Romans had only one term: Roman Empire. Historians use the term Byzantine Empire to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The Romans did not use this term, they called it Roman Empire or Romania (this referred to this empire and not the country which was later called Romania). The term Byzantine is derived from Byzantium, the Greek city which was redeveloped, turned into the imperial capital of the eastern part of the Roman Empire and renamed Constantinople by emperor Constantine the Great in 330. It is used to indicate the fact that not long after the fall of the western part, this empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character after it lost most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 150 years after the fall of the west
the last of the (major) greek city-states come under roman rule in 130b.c.

Greek empire, Roman empire, Medieval period.

The Roman Empire is bigger than Italy today
There was no Greek empire to destroy. The Greek world comprised over 2,000 independent city-states. They were eventually absorbed into the Roman Empire.
The Byzantine Empire was the name given to the eastern half of the Roman Empire when it was split in two to make it more manageable. They didn't call it that - we do so now for convenience after it's capital Byzantium, which was renamed Constantinople after its emperor Constantine the Great.The eastern Empire was always Greek - it incorporated all the eastern Greek cities and territories in the east which Rome had incorporated within its empire in the 2nd and 1st Centuries BCE. So it's culture was always Greek, including language. Latin was spoken by Roman administrators, and it thought itself as Roman, but it was thoroughly Greek; even the Jewish upper classes spoke Greek, dressed in Greek style, had Greek theatre and had operations to reverse circumcision so they didn't look mutilated at the baths.When the western Roman Empire was taken over by the Germanic and other peoples, the Roman Empire was the Greek-cultured eastern part which survived for another thousand years until Turkish takeover.
The people of the Byzantine part of the empire were Roman but heavily influenced by the Greek culture. Note that they were Roman, not Italian. The citizens in the eastern part of the empire considered themselves just as "Roman" as the people in the west.The people of the Byzantine part of the empire were Roman but heavily influenced by the Greek culture.

The Byzantine Empire called itself Roman, but its people were Greek.
Alexander the Great had the largest Greek empire ever created, but it was not bigger than some Empires that were built later, such as the Roman or British ones.
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.
