The mountain ranges in Greece would create vallies where citys were built. Because the mountains were very hard to travel over they isolated the city to develope individully from the other citys making them city-states.
Where are geographically isolated from other civilation from Ancient Greece
The geography of Greece made it immpossible for there to be big cities; there were too many mountains.
River valleys surrounded by mountains isolated settlements by tribes, developing into independent city-state.
Geography - Greece has patches of arable land separated by mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and this led to the different tribes being separated when they ceased to be nomads and settled on one of the patches of fertile land.
Native, free born, land owning men, although later in Greek times, land owning was omitted.

Historical Macedonia was an ancient Greek kingdom in the northern Greek peninsula that is today a modern province in the northern Greek peninsula of the Hellenic (Greek) Republic. The unrelated Republic of Macedonia is a small independent republic of the Former Yugoslavia in the southern Balkans, whose land is synonymous with ancient Paeonia/Dardania. Greece is to the south, Serbia to the north, Albania to the west and Bulgaria to the east.

Their land was broken by mountains and water, so the incoming nomadic tribes took over a section of farmland, built a central city and so formed an independent city-state, They prized their independence, were suspicious or hostile to neighbours, and so had no incentive to coalesce int what we today call a 'country'.

"Land between rivers"
The geography isolated and separated Greek cities, so in their early history the had little contact and were hostile when the did have contact.

Tyrants gave land to the landless farmers
Yes they spoke Greek as they were a Greek tribe like the Athenians, Lakedomonians (Spartans) and many others.
The land was divided by mountains, rivers and seas. Nomadic tribes took over a section of land, settled and formed independent city-states. They valued ruling themselves and had no wish to join together with neighbours, with whom they were often on hostile terms.
Spartan comes from the Greek ancient city of Sparta. It means ''fertilised land''.
