Government

The government of ancient Greece developed slowly. Many city states of Greece were democracies. Greece was a land of mountains and valleys until 800BC when it was divided. Before kings ruled the land but there was an old saying ''power corrupts''.

We have rules and they did too, one of their rules were that the boys of ancient Greece had to listen to poetry and stories of ancient Greece heroes, sort-of like their curriculum, like when we have ta fallow ours. And Greek rulers married for political reasons, but the most important rule was that one leading power was passed to another!

Important city states of ancient Greece were ruled by Tyrants. Tyrants had soldiers called Hittites. A tyrant is way more powerful than a king. But some city states were ruled by rich and powerful landowners supported by armies.
