The leaders depended on the type of government. For a time Tyrants were prevalent, however these were gradually replaced by other forms. Sparta had a dual kingship, with five elected magistrates called Ephors. The more usual magistrates were called Archons - Athens appointed 10, with a variety of functions - religious affairs, judicial affairs, finance, etc. Macedonia had a king appointed by acclaim of the army.

War leadership also varied - it was the prerogative of the kings in Sparta and Macedonia. In other cities generals (strategos, plural strategoi); admirals (navarchos, pl -oi) were appointed in some cities, however Athens used the one term of strategos.
