Ancient Greece was made up of many small "city states". These were cities and the land around them, and they had their own laws and rulers. They were almost like small countries in their own right. The city state of Corinth had 900 square kilometres of mountains and farmland. |

The city state of Corinth was between those of Sparta and Athens.
