Athens' government changed over time.

Up until 508/7, Athens was a tyranny.

Cleisthenes introduced democracy but Athens then became an Oligarchy under the aristocrats who led the city to ward off the Persian invasion.

460 CE Ephialtes reintroduced democracy, was assassinated for this, and his deputy Pericles took over to complete Athenian democracy. It was a direct democracy by the people, unlike the representative democracy of today.

Then it was conquered by Alexander and etcetera etcetera.

There were three main forms of government in ancient Greece:

  • Monarchy: Rule by a king. One city-state whose government was a monarchy was the city-state of Corinth.

  • Oligarchy: Rule by a small group. One city-state whose government was an oligarchy was the city-state of Sparta.

  • Democracy: Rule by the citizens, voting in an assembly. One city-state whose government experimented for about a hundred years with democracy was the ancient city-state of Athens.
