We don't know. Alphabetic writing was not adopted until the first millennium BCE, so what went on in Greece before then we don't really know. However Archaeology tells us that there was warfare in the Mycenaean era between city kingdoms in Crete, the Peloponnese, and the Aegean Islands.
From the poets, we have a story of a war against Troy in the 12th Century BCE, but this more likely to have been a coordinated series of pirate raids chasing loot.
Histories began to be written in the the 5th Century BCE, and from this we get the wars of subjection of the Greek cities of western Asia Minor by Cyrus, king of Persiain the second half of the 6th Century BCE.
