The Athenians and Spartans fought each other in what is referred to as the Peloponnesian War from 431 to 404 BC .
Because the Spartans had an oligarchy, and the Athenians had a democracy.

Spartans did not fight at the Battle of Marathon. The fight was solely between the Persians, and the Athenians and Plataeans.
YES
spartans were people who placed a lot of emphasis on the military. athenians were people named themselves after the greek goddess athena
Athenians were more into art, music, fun and drama, while Spartans had a very strict, military life stile.
The Spartans helped the Athenians on several occasions and vice versa. If you are talking about the Persian expedition against Athens in 490 BCE, the Spartans were engaged in a mandatory religious festival when the request for help from Athens arrived. As soon as the festival ended, they hit the road but arrived too late for the battle of Marathon, but marched on to view the battlefield, congratulated the Athenians and went home.

Yes
The Persians .
Spartans are much stronger and rely on their brute strength. On the other hand, Athenians are a much more logic based civilization.
The Spartans did not arrive earlier to help the Athenians during the Persian Wars primarily due to their strict military and religious obligations. They were engaged in their own festival, the Carneia, which prohibited them from taking military action. Additionally, the Spartans were cautious and wanted to assess the situation before committing their forces. This delay ultimately meant they could not assist the Athenians in time for critical battles, such as the Battle of Marathon.
