Everyone IN Athens? No. Probably not even a majority of the people IN Athens. Some were soldiers, or politicians, or merchants, or jewelers, or blacksmiths, or potters, millers, shoemakers, cobblers, weavers, coopers, or any of a myriad of other trades. (Boy, those sound like last names! Yes, many of oour common last names come from the trades our ancestors performed.)

Was everyone AROUND Athens a farmer? Most probably, yes. The people who lived close to the land were farmers, or shepherds, or swineherds. SOMEBODY had to grow the food for all those hungry people in the city!

No, life in Athens and Sparta was not the same for everyone.
