During its Classical Period, the ancient Greek society of Athens was a "democratic polis" for the following reasons: The term "polis" means "city", and Athens was fundamentally a city-society (or, city-state). Furthermore, the Athenian "city" practiced a democratic form of government, limited though it might have been; that is, ultimate power rested in the hand of the citizen-body rather than in any one individual or small group of rulers.
