In Hellas in the Archaic and Classical periods “belonging” in a political context meant, first of all, to belong to one’s polis. Like the modern state, the polis provided its citizens with a feeling of common identity, based on traditions, culture, ceremonies, symbols and sometimes (presumed) common descent. For a Greek citizen the polis was his fatherland (patris) for which he was expected, if necessary, to die, just as the modern state expects “every man to do his duty” (supra 49).
