During the Dark Ages, Greece was isolated into small communities. After the Dark Ages ended, these isolated communities developed into city-states, rather than large kingdoms. Ancient Greece was also separated by geography (mountains, rivers, seas), so it would make more sense for city-states to develop.
Alexander unified Greece in a way they had never previous been united. It was under his rule that the world began looking at the people of the region as a single people rather than identifying them by their city or region (i.e. Greeks as apposed to Athenias, Atticans or Achaeans).

The ancient Greeks never developed a unified system of government primarily due to their geographical landscape, which comprised numerous islands and rugged mountains that hindered communication and transportation. This led to the establishment of independent city-states (poleis), each with its own political systems and cultures. Additionally, fierce local identities and rivalries fostered competition rather than cooperation among these city-states, making unification difficult. The diversity of political structures, such as democracy in Athens and oligarchy in Sparta, further contributed to the lack of a cohesive government across Greece.
It was neither an empire nor a republic. The first thing to understand is that "Ancient Greece" was not a unified political body (as was the Roman Republic/Empire) but rather a collection of independent city-states that operated under their own forms of government. Athens, for example, had a form of democratic government, while Sparta was under the rule of a king.

The forms of government in ancient Greece tended to divide the people of Greece rather than unify them.

The javelin throw is believed to have originated in ancient Greece. It was part of the Olympic Games and was not attributed to a specific individual inventor, but rather to the history and culture of the ancient Greeks.
Agamemnon was not the king of all Greek city-states but was the king of Mycenae, one of the most powerful city-states in ancient Greece. He is best known as a central figure in Homer's "Iliad," where he leads the Greek forces during the Trojan War. His leadership encompassed several allied states rather than a unified rule over all of Greece.
Animals that do not develop in a placenta will develop outside of the uterus rather than in. Kangaroos and Koalas use pouches to develop their young.
