Sparta didn't have a patron god, a god protector of the city (like Athens had Athena).
They worship all 12 gods but they felt closer to Zeus as they considered themselves descendants of Hercules, son of Zeus.
Other gods they worshiped were Apollo, Artemis (known as Artemis Orthia, possibly because her cult joined with the pre-Dorian goddess Orthis) Athena Chalkioikos "of the bronze house" (the temple was decorated in bronze sheets), and Poseidon.

∙ 15y agoIt is true that we are not really sure which gods the Spartans worshipped the most partly because they did not build great temples like in Athens. It is known however that the Spartans worshipped Apollo, deified Helen aswell as Castor & Pollox; Ruins of a temple of Artemis Orphia have also been discovered. They did not worship certain other popular Greek gods like Dionysus as he was associated with wine which was prohibited for Spartan soldiers.
