This is a great question and one for a lot more research to be done on than what I can write here.

In short, the original rise of the 'polis' or 'city-state', was due to the heavy colonisation effort on the part of the Ancient Greeks due to overpopulation on mainland Greece. This as a result lead to the independent formations that we would later call city-states. Would advise you to look at some of Robert Littman's work on the city-states for more information.

Hope this helps!

Mountains, rivers and seas which split the country up and promoted the formation of city-states with their own patch of land and a fortified city in its midst.

In defending themselves and pillaging each other they created on-going wars and alliances which changed according to self-interest at any particular time. Also, the limited land of each city, and the ability of the people to breed at a rate beyond the capacity of the land to support them, even outstripping the war attrition, meant that the cities periodically sent out surplus populations to seize new land and form new cities, which eventually were established around the Black and Mediterranean Sea littorals.

It dictated the formation of separate city-states by the settlers, and the limited land encouraged trade, and the export of surplus populations to seize land around the Mediterranean and Black Seas to form new city-states for themselves.
