The Greek world during the Dark Age comprised hundreds of separate agricultural sites which were controlled by the farmers who owned the land, and established a fortress (acropolis) which provided a refuge when they were preyed on by neighbours or nomads. They hired notable warriors to organise their defences, and these resided in the acropolis fortress and led them in defensive warfare, however the farmers ruled.
The wealthiest farmers progressively increased their prosperity and this aristocracy gained power, leading into historical times (from the later 600s BCE onwards) to their establishing oligarchies which controlled the developing city-states as the cities developed.
