Use this link, create a list a every ancient Greek city-state listed onthe page. For each state, write a brief description about the city-state. (The english spelling is on the left, the right is same state, but with the Greek spelling, so you don't have to worry about it).
**IMPORTANT** some of the links may be broken. If they are, I'd like you to use a Google search for that link. (Go to Google.com and enter the name of the city-state in the search box).
This is due tomorrow.
