Monarchy
A polis, or city-state in ancient Greece, could be governed in several ways, including democracy, oligarchy, monarchy, and tyranny. In a democracy, citizens participated directly in decision-making, while an oligarchy was ruled by a small group of elites. Monarchy involved a single ruler, often hereditary, and tyranny referred to a leader who seized power unconstitutionally, often with popular support. Each system reflected the values and social structures of the specific polis.

Polis is the Greek word for a city-state, that is a tract of farmland on which was built a city and its protective fortress (acro-polis = high city, that is the fortress on a hill, around which the city came to be built). It was independent - self ruled - which is why the term city-state is used.
