How are the Spartans different from the Athenians?

Answer 1

They were different Greek city-states.

The Athenians had a democracy as their form of government; Sparta had a mix between an oligarchy and a monarchy. The Athenians encouraged trade and were influenced by other city states; the Spartans avoided new ideas whenever possible, and only conquered other city states. The Athenians valued art, science, and music; the Spartans cared about hardly anything but war. The Athenians treated their women fairly poorly; Spartan woman had more rights than almost any other women in the ancient world. Athenians had few slaves; the Spartan society relied entirely on slaves/helots to support the infrastructure. The Athenians weren't very war oriented; the Spartans were extremely bellicose and amazing soldiers.
