No, the Spartans didn't pray to another god because, we should remember they were in different city and state. Also all ancient Greek were isolated so I think they didn't pray to the same god.

What were the differences between religion in ancient Sparta and ancient Athens?

Both cities worshipped the same basic gods and goddesses, but their importance varied. For example, Athena was the goddess of culture, art, music, poetry, and all things creative which were frowned upon in Sparta. Athena was also the patron goddess and protectress of Athens, the city being named for her, and Athens was the only significant rival to Sparta. Of course, she would not have been a favorite goddess in Sparta. Yet, she was a goddess, and it was unwise to disrespect her. Also, Athena was a warrior. Of the major Hellenistic female goddesses, she was the only one depicted with armor and weapons. At least this aspect of Athena's personality may have been admired by the Spartans, or maybe not.


Did Athens or Sparta have Acropolis?

Athens had an Acropolis, which is a fortified hilltop that served as a religious and cultural center, most famously housing the Parthenon. Sparta, on the other hand, did not have an Acropolis in the same sense; its focus was more on military training and governance rather than monumental architecture. The Acropolis of Athens is a significant symbol of ancient Greek civilization, while Sparta's contributions were primarily in military prowess.


What were similarities and difference between Athens and Sparta?

Sparta and Athens had many differences and similarities in their government. Only a few Greek city-states had kings. Sparta had two kings, usually cousins or brothers. One would stay home and the other would go off to fight wars. Athens created the first democratic system and many other city-states copied them. Athenian democracy did not give power to everyone. Most of the people in Athens couldn't vote, including women, slaves, foreigners, and children.
