This is a small list of ancient Greek cities,
including colonies outside Greece proper.
Note that there were a great many Greek cities
in the ancient world. In this list, a city
is defined as a single population center.
These were often referred to as poleis in
the ancient world, although the list is not
limited to "proper" poleis. Also excluded
from the list are larger units, such as kingdoms
or empires.
A city is defined as ancient Greek if at any
time its population or the dominant stratum
within it spoke Greek. Many were soon assimilated
to some other language. By analogy some cities
are included that never spoke Greek and were
not Hellenic per se but contributed to Hellenic
culture later found in the region.
