King Darius managed to build up the Persian Empire and now controlled Asia Minor, including Greek poleis on the west coast.
His ultimate goals are unclear, but Epaminondas was loyal to constitutional government and may have genuinely wished similar equality and autonomy for all the poleis of Greece.
Later these communities were organized into poleis or city-states.
In many poleis , the common hearth of the polis, the koine hestia, which was also an altar-hearth for Hestia, was located in the prytaneion.
Thucydides goes on to say that the stasis in Corcyra was simply the first, and not the worst, of a wave of civil conflicts that shattered many Greek poleis during the long Peloponnesian War.
