ATHENIANS
Boys: Schools taught reading, writing and mathematics, music, poetry, sport and gymnastics. Based upon their birth and the wealth of their parents, the length of education was from the age of 5 to 14, for the wealthier 5 - 18 and sometimes into a student's mid-twenties in an academy where they would also study philosophy, ethics, and rhetoric (the skill of persuasive public speaking). Finally, the citizen boys entered a military training camp for two years, until the age of twenty. Foreign metics and slaves were not expected to attain anything but a basic education in Greece, but were not excluded from it either.
SPARTANS
Boys: Boys were taken from parents at age seven and trained in the art of warfare. They were only give a cloak - no shoes or other clothes, and not enough food so they had to steal (to learn survival skills). At age 20 they were placed into higher ranks of the military. To age 30 they were dedicated to the state; then they could marry but still lived in barracks with other soldiers.
They were educated in choral dance, reading and writing, but athletics and military training were emphasized.
Spartan boys were raised to be warriors, focusing on physical training and discipline from a young age. They were taught to endure hardship and prioritize the needs of the state over individual desires. Athenian boys, on the other hand, received a more well-rounded education that included academics, arts, and physical activities. They were encouraged to develop their intellect and participate in democratic governance.
The Spartan social structure valued discipline, military prowess, and communal living to create a strong, unified society. Women in Sparta had more freedom compared to other Greek city-states, allowing them to engage in physical activities, own property, and play a unique role in raising strong, healthy future warriors.
Sparta's legacy can be seen in modern military training and physical fitness programs that emphasize discipline and toughness. Additionally, the concept of a powerful warrior society inspired the creation of fictional works like the movie "300" and its graphic novel source material. However, many aspects of Spartan society, such as its rigid hierarchy and focus on war, are not seen as desirable today.
In ancient Sparta, children started their education at around age 7. They were sent to military school for boys and underwent physical training and combat skills development. Girls also received some education in literacy, physical fitness, and music.
The main difference between the Spartan and Athenian is that Athenians wore a breastplate and did not have the Red cape that Spartans wore. Spartans did not wear the breastplate but instead fought only armed with Shield and Weapon.
