Who built the Ancient Greek empire in 3000bc to 400 AD?

Answer 1

The Ancient Greeks.

Answer 2

The Ancient Greek Empire didn't start as early as 3000BC nor last until 400AD. The Greeks didn't begin to expand until about the 800s BC when they settled various city states on the Mediterranean seaboard. Syracuse in Sicily was one such which was settled in 733 or 732 BC. It flourished as and independent city-state until finally conquered by Rome in 212BC. Alexander the Great, a Macedonian , conquered much territory in his short life (356BC - 323BC) After his early death his empire was split between his generals, and by 270BC split into 3 main parts - the Antigonid Empire centered on Macedon; the Seleucid Empire in Asia and the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt, Palestine and Cyrenaica. By the 1st century BC these had in the main been absorbed by the Roman Empire. Some parts continued in the east (remember Alexander traveled as far as the Punjab) and the Indo Greek kingdom there lasted until about 10AD

Answer 3

There was no single "Greek empire", at least, none that lasted that long. The Minoan civilization started some time after 3000 BC, on the island of Crete, but the Minoans did not speak an Indo-European Greek language. It was not a unified political empire, but rather a number of small kingdoms with an extensive trade network over the ancient Near East and Mediterranean.

In the classical era of Ancient Greece, the Greeks were not unified politically, but divided into numerous city-states. These city-states founded colonies throughout the Mediterranean and Black seas, however the colonies weren't dependent on their mother cities in Greece. Like the original Greek city-states, these colonies functioned as self-sufficient city-states in their own right.

Over time, some of the original Greek city-states grew in power and became dominant over the smaller ones. The two most powerful rival city-states in Ancient Greece were Athens and Sparta. In response to a Persian invasion of Greece, Athens founded the Delian League, a defensive alliance of many cities. It is sometimes called the "Athenian Empire", because most of the member cities were dependent on Athens to protect them, and some were even forcibly conquered.

The most well-known Greek Empire was founded by King Philip II of Macedonia and reached its greatest extent under his son, Alexander. Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire, included Anatolia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Persia. He further expanded his rule into Central Asia and India. He died as the king of greatest empire the ancient world had ever seen, which was divided amongst his generals into several smaller kingdoms.

After the Romans conquered Greece, well before 400 AD, the Greeks ceased to be independent for many centuries. I'm not sure what you mean as a "Greek Empire" during this period, though the descendents of Alexander's men founded Indo-Greek kingdoms in Central Asia and Northern India. Also, after the Roman Empire split into two halves in the late 4th century AD, its eastern half, the Byzantine Empire, was sometimes refered to as "Greek". The Byzantine Empire was centered on Greece, its inhabitants spoke the Greek language, and it was culturally Greek as well. It did not end in 400 AD, however, but it rather lasted well into the late Middle Ages.

Answer 4

His name was Ed. He is the only Greek person to live for 3,400 years, and he ruled with an iron boot. The boot's name was Ed, too.

Seriously, you need to check your dates. First of all, the Greek empire was not around that long. Second, even if it HAD been, that is too long a period to ask "who" built it. The Greeks did. Duh!

Are you referring, perhaps, to Alexander the Great? He was Greek (Macedonian, to be exact) and conquered Persia, Arabia, Egypt, and parts of India in the fourth century B.C.E. That would be my best guess to what you may be attempting to refer to here.

Answer 5

The Greeks weren't much of an empire once Rome, led by Lucius Mummius razed Corinth in 146 bc and dissolved the Achaean League of City States...Sixty years later the flamboyant general Sulla, whom it is acknowledged said “I was sent to Athens, not to take lessons, but to reduce rebels to obedience.”, leads an invasion force into the starving city at midnight and blood flows red in the streets that night. Sulla destroys the Port of Piraeus and all is lost for what was once the greatest city-state the world had ever known.
