Government
In Ancient Greece people voted their leader. Democracy was invented there. People like politicians lead the city-states. Different city- states had different ideas about government. Aristotle taught Greece about Monarchies, Democracies, and Tyrannies. In the late Bronze age all city- states in Greece seemed to have been using Monarchies ruled by a King.

Olympics
The Greeks started the Olympics in 776 BC. The athletes had to be free men ( No Slaves). The Olympics were held in Olympia in honor of the Olympics. The athletes had to vow to god Zeus that they had training. If a city-state wins, it gets an olive branch or a sack of money from another city-state.
