Most societies have developed different forms of government, so really the Greeks were perfectly normal. Many people don't realize it, but the Icelanders also developed democracy separately from the Greeks and have the world's oldest democratic parliament (the Althing).
Ancient Greece was comprised of a couple of thousand independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Some of these cities individually formed democracies.
It began with a struggle between the aristocracies and people at large for political power. If the people were successful they would meet regularly in assembly and give directions to a council which carried them out. They also constituted law courts run by themselves a jurors.
