Around the citadel grew up houses, businesses and cultural venues, which then were walled in for protection. And this was a city - a place to live and its supporting agricultural land, usually handy to the sea or river.

Each polis (Greek city-state) was so isolated from one another that they all developed their own form of government. For example, when Athens started democracy, not all other poleis followed suit. Some remained as tyrannies or other governments.

Each polis or city state had its own government, economy, and way of life but came together when there was a common threat for e.g. the Persian Wars which ended with Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia..
