It really depends on when and where you are talking. Greece wasn't a unified country like it is today. Each major city was a state unto itself (hence the term city-state). Each group treated its citizens differently, and during different time periods, the same city might have different governments. For example, in the time of the Trojan War, Sparta wasn't the warrior society we think of today. That didn't come until later. During that same period, Athens had a King, but during the Hellenistic period, they were a direct democracy.

Of course, depending on the city and the period, a person's rights would vary considerably. It was generally accepted, though, that women held a very low status, if any at all. Women were usually not allowed to own property or vote. They were treated almost as property themselves.
