The upper part of the city-state was the acropolis (high hill), which housed the local hero.

Each polis had its own laws, government, and money, but shared the same language and religion

On the south of Greece was the Tigris Sea, to the west was the Nile Sea, and to the east was the Atlantic Sea.

Greeks lived in villages and towns separated by wars and diseases that made inland travel difficult.

Sometimes city-states joined alliances such as the Delian League for protection

After the Mycenaean civilization crumbled (Dark Age), the Greeks joined together in small groups for protection and stability.

Because of Greece’s rocky, mountainous geography, communities were isolated from each other and began to create their own farms and shelters.

People settled in the flat areas along the coast and in river valleys.
