it means they should a lot of respect for the god
The ancient Greeks lived in cities (poleis) along the coasts of the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
The Greek word polis (plural poleis) meant a city-state, but more specifically the group of people who formed a single political entity.
The Greeks were not interested in expanding their 'poleis' and colonizing other areas. The main reason for their overseas 'colonies' (which is not the right word for these settlements) was a mix of demographic reasons, one of them being overpopulation.
In a long long history of poleis named Sparta,among others,Thebes did defeat Sparta.But the event was quite late in Spartan history when not much of the famous system was existing anymore,not hard armored hoplites,superior trained troops..In that time (early 4th BC) there were only few hundred of Spartan citizen soldiers existing in the city.
The plural form of the Greek word polis is poleis.

While the underlying cause was probably economical interests and territorial expansion (through colonization of the Aegean coast of Anatolia), the "trigger" so to speak was the abduction of Helena, wife of the Spartan king Menelaos, by Paris, a prince of Troy. menelaos asked his brother Agamemnons help to get her back. Agamemnon had all the Hellenic poleis bound to him by oath, so he invoked this oath to demand their help to invade Troy and retrieve Helena.

Some Olympic victors was crowned with an olive wreath and his name inscribed in the official Olympic records. Some Olympic victors were fed for their whole life by their poleis although never paid.
The Greek dark age was a period of Greek history that lasted from the Dorian invasion in 1100 BC to the first signs of the Greek poleis which occurred in the 9th century BC. There was a lack of architectural structures built during this time.
