In ancient times, Athens was ruled by a variety of leaders at different periods of its history. Monarch-types and small groups of wealthy or otherwise influential persons sometimes ruled, usually with tremendous power held solely in their hands. During most of its Classical Period, however, Athens was governed as a democracy, with elected leaders holding office for specified times and accountable to the citizen body for their actions.
