About 300 years after the Mycenaean civilization crumbled, the Greeks started to join together in small groups for protection and stability. Over time, these groups set up independent city-states. The Greek word for a city-state is polis. The creation of city-states marks the beginning of what is known as Greece's classical age. A classical age is one that is marked by great achievements. - Ryan Higgins (323) 327-6164

I don't know what you mean by 'a polis', but if you are talking about an acropolis, it helped Greece survive. Acropolises were forts built on top of a hill.

Polis, the idea of a city-state, was the marker for the start of the Classical Age in Greek history. It was during this period that the Persian Empire annexed Greece.

The independent city-states sent their surplus populations out to form new city-states of their own.

What is a polis and how did poleis shape the Greek world?

A polis was a city-state - a population group with an area of agricultural land, fresh water, often a port, and a fortified hill (acropolis), around which a city grew up. Each city was independent, and often at odds with its neighbours. Each developed its own form of government, developed cultural activities, and often sent surplus population to form new polis in other parts of the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
