Explanation:

The Greek city - state was called a polis. The central hilltop meeting ground was the acropolis and the open marketplace was the agora. Greeks established colonies along the Mediterranean Sea, on the shores of the Black Sea and northward in southern Italy. Greeks on the mainland exported pottery, wine, and olive oil, imported grains and metals from the west, and fish, timber, wheat, metals, and enslaved people from the Black Sea region. Greek tyrants seized power by force from nobles and kept power by using hired soldiers. When tyranny ended, some Greek city - states remained committed to oligarchy (rule by a few), while others developed democracy (government by the people).
