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.

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.
