City states
While Poseidon was the protector of many Greek city-states, none were named for him directly.
Although the Greeks lived separatd from each other, in the so-called city states, they had the same culure. It included that they all spoke Greek, believed in the same gods and goddesses (living on Mt Olympus), and they had a common way of life. From 776BC they organised the Olympic Games in Olympia where all the city states sent contestants to.
The peoples of ancient Greece shared a common language, religion, and culture, yet they were separated into numerous independent political units (which often were at odds, and sometimes even at war, with each other). These city-states, called poleis, were political entities consisting of a city and its surrounding territory.
