What is the difference between a citizen of a Greek polis and a subject of oriental despotism?

When drawing parallels between citizens of Greek city-states and subjects of oriental despotism, it is easier to rely on similarities than on differences, because similarities lie in biological belonging to the same species, and the resulting processes, and most cultural and social characteristics are different. Suffice it to say that the citizen of the policy was a wealthy man, a slave owner and a homeowner who studied at an educational institution. Becoming a citizen was one of the highest achievements in the family. And the subject of the eastern despotism was anyone born in the Middle Kingdom, and to whom the hand of the bureaucracy reached out. And they had as many rights as the clan had wealth and power.
