No, Socrates did not live in Sparta. He was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived in Athens.

This first requires identification. What is better - better at what? Both were warlike. Both had strong religious observances. .Sparta lived on its serf population and was a limited democracy.

Sparta was a rural society. The city was more like a collection of villages. It lived frugally on its produce rather than on trade.
The ancient Greeks lived in Greece. The normal house was a courtyard with rooms around it. Most Greeks lived near the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and in southern Europe. Some citys they lived in are Athens, Sparta, and Crete. They inspired many cultures from their beliefs.
The wars did not affect the political make up -Sparta continued as a limited democracy and Athens developed a radical democracy of their own making. Economically, Sparta continued to live on the serf population which gave half their produce to Sparta, Athens converted the Delian League it had led against Persia in the latter stages of the war, into an empire of its own, and lived high on the proceeds mulcted from those city-states.
