is it true that the minorah comes from Greece?
I have no idea, since I have no idea what a minorah is. If you mean Menorah, the answer is no. Oil lamps are quite old.
is there a scientific explanation as to why a oil lamp which is supposed to last for one day lasted for eight days?
No, since it's not a scientific question.
It's a myth invented rather recently to change a military holiday into a spiritual one.
