What the heck, that is not true all city states have there own importance. Sparta is important too, you have to know that.

Well Athens was the most important for its trade routes and government system, and Sparta was a powerful but only for they war skills. For that reason Athens was very important for trade but they did not have the most power since in a war they fled while Sparta took over.

After the Persian threat ended, it enforced continuation of the anti-Persian Delian League, converting it into an empire of its own, seizing the revenues to pay for it and used this to maintain the most powerful navy.
