Well first the Athens government is a direct government. Sparta isn't. Athens ruled Ancient Greece for many years and were the most powerful group. Then during the Peloponnesian war, which was Sparta v.s the powerful Athens (in the 400's B.C) at the end, we ended with a new powerful group called Sparta. The Spartanians were so releaved and excited and Athenians so depressed. That is a big difference in Greek City-States government. Some similarities is that they both had citizens that had to be males, but a big difference between that is to be a citizen in Athenia, you had to be a male, but you had to have family in that city-state for 3 generations. In Sparta and other city-states you had to be also a male, but had to be born in that city-state which made a lot of Citizens.

The classics example is Sparta and Athens - they don't get much more different than these two. That said, every Greek state was different, there was no unified 'Greece' in a modern sense so each state, though having a shared language, gods etc, would contain differences.
People have different interpretations because they have different opinions on the subject. The person may see the other side.
Aristotle.
Realism is realistic and straighforward in the way it is perceived. Unlike Realism, Modernism uses fragmented pieces of reality, and allows the same piece to be perceived in different ways.

Ancient Greece was a fun place to be at!
Athens and Sparta were both powerful city-states in ancient Greece, but they had different governing systems. Athens was known for its democracy and emphasis on arts, education, and philosophy, while Sparta was known for its militaristic society and strict discipline. Athenians focused on intellectual pursuits and trade, while Spartans were primarily concerned with military training and warfare.
1.It was an oligarchy not a democracy

Sparta had acouple of hills, Rome had seven that protected Rome from attack.
It depends if you are talking about which is stronger the answer would be that Sparta is stronger.They had a strong army but Athens had a better navy or if you want to know which has a better government or better education then the answer would be Athens.
Both are city states Both pick up children boys to go to the military Both were in Greece
The only similarities between Athens and Sparta was that they were both Greek. Otherwise, there is no correlation, they are synonyms and completely opposite. Sparta is awesome while Athens is extremely homosexual.
Sparta was stronger on land, Athens stronger by sea.
Lycurgus of Sparta instituted military and egalitarian reforms e.g. one Spartan household had the same things as the next Spartan home .
