Sparta was distinct from other Greek city-states primarily due to its militaristic and oligarchic society, which prioritized military training and discipline over arts and commerce. Unlike many city-states that embraced democracy, Sparta was ruled by a dual monarchy and a council of elders, emphasizing stability and order. The rigorous education system, known as the Agoge, instilled a sense of loyalty and resilience in Spartan citizens, particularly the males, who were trained from a young age to be warriors. This focus on military prowess and communal living set Sparta apart from its more culturally diverse and economically driven counterparts, like Athens.
