There were only two, Assembly and Council
The Greek experiment was Direct Democracy, that is the Assembly was not comprised of representatives elected by the people as in today's Representative Democracies - the people themselves attended fortnightly Assembly meetings and discussed and voted on motions put before the by a Council which was elected by the tribes, but had no legislative power itself - the Council carried out the decisions of the Assembly of the People.
Ancient Greece did not have a government of assembly. It was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states which each had its own form of government. These forms varied from monarchy, tyranny, oligarchy, limited democracy and radical democracy. In a limited democracy, the citizens voted for issues put before them by the council. In a radical democracy, the assembly decided what was to be considered and decided on the outcome, which was implemented by the council. Anyone seeking to influence the assembly had to do it by effective oratory. Unfortunately good orators could sway them to unwise decisions, often with catastrophic results.
Ancient Greece created the Citizens assembly which was made up of male citizens of Athens who voted on various issues. There was also a council that was responsible for the daily operations of Athens.
The council, also known as the Boule, was responsible for proposing and preparing legislation for the assembly. It consisted of a group of citizens chosen by lot to serve for a specific period of time. The assembly, on the other hand, was a gathering of all eligible citizens where laws were debated, voted on, and decisions were made regarding various matters including warfare, public policy, and judicial matters. The purpose of these institutions was to ensure that political power was shared among the citizens and that decisions were made collectively.
