Like all civilizations, territories are usually decided by physical features that divide the land. Being separated from other territories, even on a smaller scale like city districts, situations cause people to do things differently than others. Different languages, cultures, religions and even physical features can change due to having to adapt to certain situations and influences (example: Charles Darwin noted on the changes between swallows that lived on islands and swallows that lived inland; the same can be said for humans, but usually less physically noticeable)
In Greece, the people were divided by massive mountains, forcing the similar cultured people to "adapt" causing them to become more independent, thus dividing Greece into city-states.
The Mountains in Greece contributed to the rise of the city states because it gave them protection from attack on the low parts of Greece. If your living on a mountain you cant be attacked from the sky because at the time they didn't have planes.
