    Spartan, you need to clarify which period of time you are talking about, because sometimes it seems as though its the 6th century BC and others the 4th century BC.
    I believe that many of the city-states began to move away from monarchial systems at the onset of the 6th century BC. By the 4th century, I believe most had moved away from this, and were either oligarchies, or democracies.
    By the latter period (4th), Hellenic kingdoms were few or at the very least insignificant when compared to the type of city-state that Athens, Thebes and the rest had.
    I would agree with this assesment, except for Sparta.
    She maintained her royal family(although there were oligarchial elements), and was verry signifigant in the Greek world in the 400's BC(Persian invasions, Peloponesian wars etc).
