One of the realms of Greek city-states. After the collapse of the Mycenaean palaces, Greek communities slowly revived, and by about 800 BCE hundreds of independent city-states, or poleis, had emerged. Each polis was a city with its surrounding farmland, governed by kings, aristocrats, tyrants or citizen assemblies.
