Firstly a king; the kings were later replaced by an Aristocratic Council of the Areopagus; then tyrants were installed to be more representative of the people at large; the tyrants were replaced by democratic forms of government where the ordinary people determined laws in assembly; then when this failed there was a reversion to various less democratic forms of government led by the aristocracy.
