Detailed explanation-1: -Everything in ancient Greek city-states was controlled by men. They were the only ones who could hold office, vote, have full legal status, and own property. Men were at the top of the social class, which means one’s ranking in society, in Greece.
Detailed explanation-2: -Though the Greek city-states were fiercely independent, these city states did have many things in common. They worshipped the same gods, they spoke the same language, and they had the same cultural background. And in times of foreign invasion (such as the Persian wars), they would band together to fight a common foe.
Detailed explanation-3: -Athenian Democracy refers to the system of democratic government used in Athens, Greece from the 5th to 4th century BCE. Under this system, all male citizens-the dēmos-had equal political rights, freedom of speech, and the opportunity to participate directly in the political arena.
Detailed explanation-4: -Athens was the largest and most influential of the Greek city-states. It had many fine buildings and was named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare. The Athenians invented democracy, a new type of government where every citizen could vote on important issues, such as whether or not to declare war.
