In Sparta, women enjoyed a relatively high degree of autonomy and were expected to manage households and engage in physical training, though they still operated within a patriarchal framework. In contrast, Athenian women had limited rights and were largely confined to domestic roles, with their primary obligations being to manage the household and bear children, emphasizing obedience to male authority. Overall, while both societies were patriarchal, Spartan women had more freedom and influence compared to their Athenian counterparts.
