In terms of Greek history, what is the significance of the Greek city-state, or polis?
The Greek polis was the epicenter of art and theater, which is where most of
their plays were performed.
The Greek polis was significant because it led to the unification of the Greek
city-states and they were then able to create a single empire of Greece.
The significance of the Greek polis is that each city-state valued its
independence, which is why they never form into a single united empire of
Greece.
The polis left very weak independent governments across Greece, which led to
their conquest by the Persians.
