The city state of Athens is still around today.
From 449 BCE when, after Persia agreed to peace, the now redundant Delian League led by Athens was converted into an empire of Athens, and the now redundant annual war funds were collected by force, and Athens spent the proceeds on itself - a Golden Age indeed for Athens, paid for by the new empire.

Athens never had an empire; Athens was a city-state. The Greeks themselves never had an empire. They were a collection of city-states, each with its own laws, religious rites, surrounding territories and allied cities. The closest the Greeks came to an empire was with the conquests of Alexander the Great, but even his territories did not meet the criteria of an empire and it fell apart at his death. The various Greek city-states, when not fighting each other, did unite against a common enemy, such as the Persians, but when the hostilities were over the unity was over and the various fighters/leaders returned to their own cities and went on with their separate lives.
There was no Greek empire. The Greek world was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals.
