Name one reason Sparta and Athens did not get along?

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.


Which statement most likely represents the view of a citizen of ancient Athens visiting Sparta?

"The government and society in Sparta are so strict. The people have little voice in government." Athenians were a lot more artsy than Spartans, so a statement could be, "Wow, these Spartans are really militaristic." Athens focused on the arts and broadening the mind, and depended on its citizens to be automatically patriotic, whereas Sparta sent boys off to train in the military at young ages, teaching them patriotism, instead of earning it by the goodness of the city-state. In essence, the two cities were complete opposites, so any statement showing the opposing opinions should work.

How are the Spartans different from the Athenians?

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.
