In Sparta both. In Athens, the men, with the women confined in the home doing domestic tasks.
only sparta.
Both
in Sparta were only free men citizens?
In Sparta, the focus was on military training, discipline, and obedience to the state. Citizens lived a simple, austere life with a strong emphasis on physical fitness and warfare. In contrast, Athens valued education, democracy, and the arts. Athenian society emphasized intellectual pursuits, cultural advancements, and democratic governance.
Women were not more important then men were in Sparta and Athens. Men just had a lot of pride in the selfs and thought that the woman should not be treated as well. They just plain had to much pride in themselfs.
There were no similarities. In Athens there was Democracy while in Sparta the was Oligarchy. In Athens women didn't have any priviledges, while in Sparta women were allowed to do almost anything men did.
In Athens the women weren't free, they had to clean, cook, and had to be hidden when they're husband's friends comes over. In Sparta, the women were free and they could have jobs and go anywhere! But in athens, they had to ask for permission. In sparta, they had better security, they had the military but athens didnt care about the military. In athens, only men were able to vote and participate in the government but in sparta, women can join the military and get jobs also they can vote!
Women were treated in Sparta very well compared to its neighboring sisters of Athens. They allowed much more freedom and dominated society even when men were at war.
1 differences are that Sparta allowed women to play sports but also wanted them 2 be independent, when Athens just wanted there women to stay inside and not do anything. they wanted the men to do everything
that's what I want to know
The men dominated life, the women were home-bound chattels except in rare instances such as Sparta where they lived an open life.
