There was no single monarchy - 2nd Millennium BCE Greece was split into numerous petty monarchies. These were replaced in the city-states by oligarchies, then democracies by the 5th Century BCE. Then Macedonia under Philip and his son Alexander took over both the Greek and Persian worlds in the second half of the 4th Century BCE, and their successors split them into several Hellenistic Kingdoms, which lasted until the 1st Century BCE when Rome incorporated them into its expanding empire.

How are ancient Greece and ancient rome different?
Ancient Greece was made up of many city-states that formed a nation, but Rome was an empire, they conquered most of Europe, while the ancient Greeks remained in their city states. The roman worldview was more about military training, discipline and order. Romans fought in legions, groups of people who worked together and fought together in the battle. Most Greek's city-states (less Sparta), didn't have a worldview that had so much to do with war as the Romans had. The Greeks cared more about art, architecture, science, philosophy, etc. The Roman were ruled by a monarch by some time, then they ruled themselves as a republic and finally when they started making their empire, they were ruled by a emperor, who had most of the power, but had to work with the senate. The Greeks didn't have any of that, each city-state ruled itself by its own way. For example Sparta used monarchy, but Athens ruled themselves by democracy they had 10 Strategos (Greek term), who were like the rulers, but Athens had like a council where each citizen could express himself and give ideas, vote, etc. They ruled themselves, but in times of war the Strategos would take decisions.
