Athens
Each had allies which augmented its power. Athens had an empire of about 180 city-states spread around the eastern Aegean Sea,. It had strong walls, which extended down to the sea, which enabled it to be resupplied during a siege. It also had a superior navy, which gave it the ability to threaten and raid opposing cities of the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta, and to ensure resupply of the city by sea from its empire. The Peloponnesian League had the strongest land forces, and was able to besiege Athens. By whittling don Athens' allies, it progressively reduced Athens' power and resupply, until finally after 27 years of fighting, the Athenian fleet was destroyed (Persia gave money to pay for a Peloponnesian fleet) and Athens was starved into submission.

Sparta did't try to rule Athens. Having dismantled Athens' war power by destroying its fleet, it left Athens to sort itself out (though it did make one inefectual intervention to try to force stability). Athens eventually re-established democracy and began to engage in the usual ongoing warfare amongst the Greek city-states on varying sides as self-interest dictated.

The idea that Rome was threatened by stability is rather odd. Stability is not a threat. It is what is needed to ensure the continuance of a society or political regime. By obtaining absolute rule by emperors who had a tight control over the state, Augustus started what historians have called the Pax Romana. This was a 207-year period of relative political stability in the Roman Empire which enabled it to prosper.
