A powerful city-state

A long poetic story

A character who faces a challenge that demands courage, strength, and intelligence.

Highest point in a city or upper city

The city's market place and social center

A government ruled by a single person, such as a king

A government ruled by a small group of elite, landowning families

A powerful man who takes advantage of a situation and seizes power

A government ruled by a few powerful citizens

A government in which citizens have a direct role in governing

State owned slaves captured from conquered lands
