Sparta was a very warring country, at an early age they would train children for war. Athens was more of an education based country, and they would spend long days studying philosophy and mathematics.
Another view:
Sparta was a rural society. Its male citizens trained for war, with the serf population giving half their produce to support the citizens. Women had substantial rights. It had a government of limited democracy where the citizens voted on matters put to them by the council.
Athens was partly rural supported by slaves, partly tradesmen and traders. Males had to serve in the army when called out. Women were responsible to run the home, and were kept there in virtual purdah, getting out only for the odd female religious festival. It had a government of direct democracy - that is the citizens met in fortnightly assembly to direct the state.
Life from Sparta is different from life in Athens because Sparta is stronger, has more equipment, and more warriors. Athens is asking for more warriors and ships so therefore I infer that Athens has less equipment.
life in athens was focused on education while life in sparta was focused on the military
people was ltty
Sparta full-time. Athens part-time.
they had different forms of government, Sparta had oligarchy while Athens had democracy. in Athens, you became a man when you turned 18, in Sparta you had to be 30. for money Athens had drachmas and Sparta had obols.
Athens's finnancial differences from Sparta were that Sparta had alot more gold and Athens had alot more credit.
Because they didn't yell "this is Sparta" they yelled "This is Athens"
Athens was more artistic and Sparta was more tougher at war
Athens was located in Attica, close to the sea, which enabled it to develop a strong navy and excel in trade. Sparta, on the other hand, was located in the region of Laconia, further inland and surrounded by mountains, which contributed to its focus on land-based military strength and agriculture. Overall, Athens had better access to the sea, while Sparta was more secluded and land-oriented.
