Ancient Greece was divided into several city-states. Some city-states had a hereditary king, or in Sparta's case, two hereditary kings. Other city-states, such as Athens, had a democracy and politicians were chosen by the people to be the Archon.

They didn't have leaders for the entire country each city-state was ruled independently Each polis(city-state) had to chose a type of government I know three( i think that's all)

  1. Democracy- all the citizens (men) get to vote (at least 18)
  2. Oligarchy- 30 experienced and at least 60 year old man belong to the assembly, but two most powerful kings can rule
  3. Monoarchy- a king or a queen gets to be the head chosen by experience, age and power

Hope this helps :)

the Greeks chose them by 'the lot; in other words they just found a great big lot of people, mostly Grecians, and randomly chose one of them.

this was said to be an insane way of doing things but in actual fact, they just couldn't find a way to make things work back then!

During the Mycenaean period, many leaders were chosen because they were the strongest war leaders, according to the poets. This would be people like Agamemnon, Achilles, Nestor, Ajax. Some, such as Menelaus were chosen because they married the right woman. Helen was the daughter of the former King of Sparta.

During the Classical period, the leaders of Peloponesian cities like Sparta, Argos and Corinth were chosen because they were descended from the correct royal family. In the democracies in Attica and Boeotia, leaders were chosen because they got more votes than the next guy.

During the Hellenistic era, leaders were chosen because they were descended from the appropriate general of Alexander: Seleucid, Ptolemy, or whatever.

During the Roman and Byzantine periods, leaders of Greece were chosen by the Roman Senate and/or Emperor on grounds of patronage, nepotism or political expediency.

During the Ottoman period, Greek leaders were chosen by the Sultan, and I'd have to guess that patronage, nepotism and political expediency were at work there, too.

That takes us up to AD 1821.

How could you get rid of ancient Greek leaders?

There really was no 'ancient Greece' if by that you mean a single country with leaders. There were only city-states -- each with its own leaders. How to get rid of leaders? Killing them is a tried and true way. Otherwise, at least in Athens, they were a true democracy -- every free citizen got a vote.
