Phillip II, Alexander the Greats dad, unified the Greek states into one nation under Macedonian Hegemony.
Greece was not a unified state. There were kingdoms and independent city states in mainland Greece and Greek kingdoms in Western Turkey, in Syria and in Egypt. The first Roman victory over a Greek state was in the First Macedonian War (214-205 BC) where Rome defeated the kingdom of Macedon, the largest and the dominant state in mainland Greece.
It was neither an empire nor a republic. The first thing to understand is that "Ancient Greece" was not a unified political body (as was the Roman Republic/Empire) but rather a collection of independent city-states that operated under their own forms of government. Athens, for example, had a form of democratic government, while Sparta was under the rule of a king.
Ancient greece was divided into isolated communities because of the mountains in Greece. Over 70% of Greece is mountains, and the mountains made communication between cities hard. This blocked the exchange of ideas, which resulted in all of the cities having different societies, governments, and values

King Philip helped Macedonia become powerful and united Greece under Macedonian hegemony.
Greece did not conquer Phoenicia. Macedonian king Alexander took it over as part of his conquest of the Persian Empire in 334 BCE.

Macedonian
There were over 2,000 independent city-states around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. They formed shifting alliances to suit their needs and ambitions over the centuries. From time to time some came under control of various empires - Persian, Macedonian, Roman. Greece was not 'unified' until the 19th Century CE.
Alexander "The Great Of Macedon" conqured Greece for the Macedonian's and the Macedonian Empire which was not part of Greece, if Alexander "The Great Of Macedon" was Greek then why would he conqur his own land and people?
