The Ancient Greek City-States

A Great Civilization Many people believe that the greatest of all the civilizations of the ancient world was the civilization of Greece. However, it is a little misleading to speak about ancient Greece as though it were a single civilization.

The Big Question

What different forms of government were adopted by various city-states?

Ancient Greece was not a unified country. It was a collection of independent

city-states. The ancient Greek word for city-state was polis (/poh* lihs/). A typical

Vocabulary

city-state, n. a city that is an independent political state with its own ruling government

Asia Minor, n. a peninsula in southwestern Asia; today most of this area is the country of Turkey

polis would have included a town or a small city and the farmlands surrounding it. Most Greek city-states had a population of no more than twenty thousand and covered an area of only a hundred or so square miles.

By 500 BCE, dozens of these city-states existed, mainly along the shores of the Aegean Sea. Most were located in the area of present-day Greece, but others were scattered along the coast of Asia Minor, on the shores of the Black Sea, in southern Italy, and in northern Africa.
