Answer:

Strait.

Step-by-step explanation:

After a fast online search, I've found that the list of words are:

Athens

Age of Pericles

satraps

tyrant

Cyrus the Great

hoplites

Parthenon

peninsula

upper-class Athenian women

strait

Well, the definition is:

"A narrow body of water with land on both sides"

This is something like a river, so we need to find which one of these words means something like river.

To do it, let's look at short definitions of each word:

Athens: This is the capital city of Grece. (Isn't the correct option)

Age of Pericles: This refers to a historical period (isn't the correct option)

Satraps: Were governors in the Persian empire (Isn't the correct option)

Tyrant: Refers to a cruel leader (Isn't the correct option)

Cyrus the Great: Was the founder of the Achaemenid Empire (isn't the correct option)

Hoplites: A citizen-soldier (isn't the correct option)

Parthenon: A construction in Grece (isn't the correct option)

Peninsula: A small body of land surrounded mostly by water, but connected to land (isn't the correct option)

upper-class Athenian women: It is self-explained, this isn't the correct option.

Strait: This refers to a narrow passage of water that connects two larger areas of water (like two seas, for example)

Then this one is the correct option.
