Most of the city-States were ruled by olicharchies, that is, by small groups of powerful families. Only Sparta had kings. These however mostly acted as army commanders while day-to-day government was left in the hands of a Council of Elders.

Athens for at least some of its history had a form of democracy, although at the same time its economy was largely based on the massive use of slave labor. All through its history, Athens' powerful families continued to carefully control the ways in which democracy functioned and key executive posts remained in the hands of their family members.
