Cities usually had large populations and grew around a centralized point. Greek cities had Agoras, or markets for buying/selling and meeting places. In ancient times, cities were used as an organized platform for buying or selling.
The second aspect of the greeks that made them a civilization were the advanced cities, or city-states the land possessed. The marble sculptures are still standing and virtually unharmed for centuries, while many bronze sculptures were melted down for their metal shortly after they were erected. One of my favorite things about Greece is the beautiful marble sculptures. Some examples of specific jobs are merchants, artisans, craftsmen, soldiers, and historians.
The people of Athens relied heavily on trade, so their people had to be skilled and specialized workers in order to produce the products being traded.
