The Greek city states (polis) were formed out of the Homeric period because of the iron age and Greece's impossible terrain. During the Homeric period the Mycenaean Greeks were in control of most of Greece's vast areas since their kings had bronze weapons. When iron was discovered that enabled anyone to make weapons, the kings lost their empires and the people began to form communities according to Greece's natural borders. They built a religious center a hill (acropolis) which also acted as refuge if a neighbouring city attacked them. The hill then had houses built around it, which were then surrounded by a defensive wall. The city (polis) became the centre of commercial and social life as well as refuge. The cities were built near a source of fresh water, and many were on the coast or river for transportation, fisheries and trade. The ones with plenty of agricultural land could support more people, if on the coast they had fish and trade, and prospered, becoming larger, more prosperous and powerful.
