Summary
This chapter discusses (in roughly alphabetical order) democracies located on the coasts and islands of the Aegean, as well as on Rhodes and the Black Sea coasts, from 480 to 323 bc. Of the city-states considered below, all either certainly or probably experienced at least one period of democratic government during this era. While it is always possible that further examples of demokratia cropped up on occasion in these or other communities of the eastern Greek world, the following represent the cases for which we have the strongest evidence.
Briefer summary treatments follow the main entries at the chapter's end.
