Ancient Greece’s Political Structure The Polis Ancient Greece’s Political Structure

By 750 B.C.E., the Greeks saw a rise in city-states. Polis or city-state: political unit, a city and surrounding countryside which included many villages, between 50-500 square miles, usually fewer than 20,000 residents. Agora: public center, market Acropolis: fortified hilltop

Political Structure of a Polis Monarchy: ruled by single person (king/queen) Aristocracy: ruled by small group of noble, land-owning families Oligarchy: ruled by a few powerful people Democracy: ruled by the citizens, directly or indirectly

Athens and Sparta The two most famous poleis of ancient Greece were Athens and Sparta. These two city-states were very different in politics, social structure, and culture. They even fought a very long war, the Peloponnesian War.
