Who did Greece rule over?

In ancient times, Greece was not a unified nation but a collection of city-states, such as Athens, Sparta, and Corinth. These city-states often exerted influence or control over surrounding regions and territories, including parts of the Aegean Islands, the coast of Asia Minor, and areas of the Mediterranean. During the Hellenistic period, following the conquests of Alexander the great, Greek culture and political influence spread widely, ruling over territories that included Egypt and parts of Persia. However, by the Roman conquest in the 2nd century BCE, Greek city-states lost their independence and came under Roman rule.
