The Spartans looked down of the Athenians because they felt they were weak, pinheads and lazy. The Athenians looked down on the Spartans because they thought they were brutish and uneducated. It was the classic preppy-hi-brow vs. the jock battle! === === Sparta was the principal land power, Athens the maritime power. The Spartans were conservative; although good at war, they preferred to stay out of it. The Athenians were adventurous, intent on establishing and then extending an empire by whatever means necessary. These hostile activities brought Athens into conflict with Sparta's allies, who eventually persuaded Sparta to intervene to limit the Athenian intrusions into their domains.

One reason Sparta and Athens did not get along was their contrasting political systems. Sparta favored an oligarchic system focused on militarism, while Athens was a democracy that valued education, culture, and naval power. This difference in ideologies led to conflict and rivalry between the two city-states.
