The Persian Empire was an absolute monarchy which was divided into provinces called satrapies. Each satrapy was allowed to maintain a certain degree of ethnic and religious autonomy, provided that they respected the authority of the sovereign. Each of the satrapies also had to contribute to the massive Persian armies which were used to bring all non-Persians under Persian rule.
There was no Greek empire. The independent Greek city-states were quite varied in political temperament. There were cities like Corinth which were ruled by several wealthy families as an oligopoly. The overwhelming majority of the population in Sparta were non-Spartans called helots who were serfs and servants of the dominant Spartan population. Athens was a direct democracy, convening meetings of all the citizens to decide laws. Any Athenian would have the right to speak and debate. There were other states, like Argos, that were ruled as hereditary monarchies. When Alexander the great rose in the Greek region of Macedonia, he was able to create a Hellenistic Greek empire that on his death split up between his dictator-generals and ruled as regional kingdoms with a strong emphasis on spreading Hellenic Culture.
