I've been reading up on Ancient Greece and am fascinated by the formation of the city-states, or polis. It's intriguing how these independent communities, each with their own government, culture, and identity, developed in close proximity to each other. I'm curious about the factors that led to their formation and would love to hear from anyone with insights or expertise on this topic.
What were the key social, political, or geographical influences that contributed to the rise of these city-states? How did the mountainous terrain of Greece affect their development? I've read that trade and colonization also played significant roles—how did these aspects influence the growth and governance of the polis?
Do you have some info for me off the top of your head, or even a book or two that I can read!
