Arkaik ve klasik kaynaklarda Hellen olmayan Polis'ler

In its strict sense, the Hellenic term Polis means, independent and a small selfgoverning community of citizens living in an urban centre and its hinterland, and in this sense it is a politic term which is originally specific to Hellenic world. But the studies on this term have shown that in the ancient sources this term wasn't used only in that political meaning and furthermore it wasn't used only for the settlements and administrations specific to Hellenic world. In this study, this subject will be described with the references from south-western Anatolian settlements within the Archaic and Classical periods.
