Every city state was different, and laws were reformed over the years as attitudes and leader's changed.
Draco, a 7th century BC law scribe, enacted extremely harsh punishments, including the death penalty even for minor infractions. Forced slavery for infractions was also common. Many of his punishments were revised and relaxed under Solon a century later.
Common punishment included slavery, death, ostracism (from the city), Atimia (loss of citizen's rights), and fines.
