Detailed explanation-1: -Greek city-states were governed by a variety of entities, including kings, oligarchies, tyrants, and, as in the case of Athens, a democracy. 496–168 B.C.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eupatridae /juːˈpætrɪdiː/ (literally “good fathered", i.e. “offspring of noble fathers” or “the well-born") refers to the ancient nobility of the Greek region of Attica.
Detailed explanation-3: -From about 2000 B.C.E. to 800 B.C.E., most Greek city-states were ruled by monarchs-usually kings (the Greeks did not allow women to have power). At first, the Greek kings were chosen by the people of the city-state. When a king died, another leader was selected to take his place.
Detailed explanation-4: -By 800 B.C.E., most Greek city-states were ruled by a small group of wealthy men. These men were called oligarchs, from a Greek word that means “few.” In an oligarchy, the ruling power is in the hands of a few people.
