Self-government.
Ancient Greece comprised several hundred independent city-states, each of which had its own laws. Can you refine the question.
The city-states each had their land and water, prized the independence of their city-state, and vigorously resisted any attempt by another city-state to take them over.
The Greeks never had an empire, they were a collection of city-states, each with its own interests. There were actually three major city-states or cities that were important in ancient Greece. They were Athens, Sparta and Corinth.The Greeks never had an empire, they were a collection of city-states, each with its own interests.

Each city-state was separated by large mountain ranges, so it was pretty hard to unite the whole country.
in the time of ancient Athens and Sparta, each city was also a state which means that despite of common origin, each city-state had its own low, king or government and generally it was independent. as a result of that there were many wars between them.
By definition, each city-state was independent and had its own government.
Each independent city-state had its own government, with variances of monarchy, oligarchy and democracy.

No. The Greeks established nothing as they never had an empire. Ancient Greece was a collection of independent city-states with unity only when a severe crisis loomed. As soon as the crises was over, each city-state resumed its sovereign rule in its own territory.

Ancient Greece wasn't "founded", it just kind of happened and no particular person sat down and wrote up the "Constitution of Ancient Greece." Rather, it was a collection of independent city-states founded at various times by different people or groups of people, who certainly would not have regarded themselves as "ancient" anything, but rather as the very cutting edge and pinnacle of culture (and in some ways they were right to do so).
for some cities it was mostly farming
A city-state had its own local rule, defence force, economy and alliances.However it also put them in competition with each other leading to endless inter-city warfare.
After the Greek dark ages, exciting things began to happen in ancient Greece. Villages started to band together to form strong trading centers. These groups of villages that banded together were called city-states. Soon, hundreds of city-states had formed in ancient Greece. TO BE A CITIZEN OF A CITY-STATE: The ancient Greeks referred to themselves as citizens of their individual city-states. Each city-state (polis) had its own personality, goals, laws and customs. Ancient Greeks were very loyal to their city-state. The city-states had many things in common. They all believed in the same gods. They all spoke the same language.

You do not say which commentator on which occasion, nor if he was takling about ancient or modern Greece. If he was talking about ancient Greece, he meant to say that Geece never was one nation. It was a collection of independent city-States who all happened to be located on the Greek peninsula. At best they were just each others competitors; at regular intervals they were at war with each other, and if a Greek city-State joined up with another one, it was usually just to better beat the crap out of a third Greek city-State.
Each independent city-state had its own laws.
