There was NEVER a Greek leader. The "country" was a group of city-states (and for the most part this is true even today) that came together at various time for the common defense of them. At times these city-states united with their enemies of today and returned to be enemies after the danger had passed.
Alexander the Great was not Greek and neither did he have Greek roots. He was Macedonia whose roots and actions are more along the lines of Central Europe/Russian than Greek even though his primary teacher was Aristotle.

Probably Pericles. He made Athens into the greatest Greek city of his time and his period was Athen's Golden Age-the best in art(sculpture), philosophy, drama etc although war later broke out between Athens and Sparta.
Wasn't the leader of Greece as a whole country since they ran city-states but was one of the first major, influential leaders if you forget Troy et al.

Alexander the Great, Kind of. Greece was a group of city states, rather than a nation back at that time. He controlled most of Greece and the rest was somewhat dependent on him. Greece was not united until the Rome took over.
