Athens had more shipbuilders than Sparta due to its focus on naval power and trade. As a leading maritime city-state, Athens invested heavily in its navy, especially during the Persian Wars, leading to the construction of advanced triremes. In contrast, Sparta prioritized its land-based military and focused on infantry training, resulting in minimal naval development. Thus, Athens was the clear leader in shipbuilding.

What did ancient Sparta think of Athens?

Athens' feelings towards Sparta could differ from person to person and most important from time period to time period. For example, the story of the Battle of Thermopylae was considered very heroic but sometimes Spartan culture was made fun of in plays but in the same play Spartans could be seen as admirable (Aristophanes' Lysistrata, for example).Also, of course, if Athens was at war with Sparta, they would have a much different opinion of them.But one thing that they were very known for was the fact that they were supposed to be very brief with their words with a dry wit, the etymology for the word "laconic" is a reference to Sparta.


After Athens and Sparta joined to defeat Persia do you think they remained allies?

After defeating Persia, Athens and Sparta initially maintained a fragile alliance, known as the Hellenic League. However, their differing political systems and rival ambitions quickly led to tensions. Athens pursued a more imperialistic agenda with the Delian League, while Sparta favored a more conservative, oligarchic approach. This discord ultimately culminated in the Peloponnesian War, marking the end of their alliance.
