①. The people here mainly refer to the citizens of Greek city-states. Citizens are the main class of Greek society and the core force of city-state politics. ②. A city-state is a group of citizens, and citizens only have meaning if they live in a group of citizens, that is, a city-state. Without the citizen group of the city-state, citizens would no longer be citizens. Gentiles had no political rights and could not participate in the political life of the city-state. The political life of citizens is above all else. In the Greek world gatherings in which multiple city-states participated, the public image of a citizen represented his city-state, and each city-state also paid great attention to the performance of its citizens.
