Athens and Sparta were independent City-States and therefore were not especially close. However, the Greeks did unite to repel foreign invasions. One of the reasons that Sparta and Athens went to war (The peloponnesian war), was because after the city of Athens was destroyed by Persian invaders, the Athenians stole large sums of money from the Delian League to rebuild their city (and also some of their most famous modern wonders, such as the Parthenon), which was a national treasury set up by the primary City-States of Greece. This action enraged the Spartans in particular, and caused the war.
