The Athens society was far better than that of Sparta since Athens was more intellectual and wanted to learn and develop; they were not just focused on war. Sparta was much more practical and learning how to fight was any Spartan's top priority. Athens developed the democracy as well.

∙ 13y agoIt depends which way you look at it.
Athens invented Democracy, and focused mainly in the arts. They relied on trade, and had an amazing navy.
However, women were given NO rights.
Sparta was focused on their army, so that their slaves, the Helots wouldn't rebel. Their navy wasn't extremelly good. They weren't as focused on the arts.
However, women had rights, and were considered citizens
Personally, I like Athens for their arts and I don't like Sparta's focus on war...
but I hate that Athens gives women no rights...
So the final choice is up to you and what you value

∙ 10y agoAthens is the better society because of its government, education, and society. Although Sparta had a very strong army, Athens had a strong navy. Athenians were also very smart they valued life, not war like Spartans. The government in Athens was better then Sparta's government. The education was also better. You had a better chance of surviving in Athens. (In Sparta if you were not a healthy baby they would put you outside their walls to die!) I hope I answered your question!

Athens moved to a radical democracy, where fortnightly popular assemblies directed actions, and the council carried out these directions. The law courts were run by citizen juries.
