What was the size of Ancient Sparta?

I'm afraid I don't know the exact number, but I do know it was over 4'000 square kilometres in size. However, if you're looking for the size of Ancient Sparta AFTER it conquered Messenia then it's closer to 8'000 square kilometres. The whole of the Peloponnese itself was about 21'000 square kilometres so, after conquering Messenia, Sparta became the largest City-State in the Peloponnese; and the rest of Greece. (Athens, and Attica, only covered 2'500 square kilometres).

Who did people worship the greek goddess Artemis?

Athenian festivals in honor of Artemis included Elaphebolia, Mounikhia, Kharisteria, and Brauronia. The festival of Artemis Orthia was observed in Sparta.Pre-pubescent Athenian girls and young Athenian girls approaching marriageable age were sent to the sanctuary of Artemis at Brauron to serve the Goddess for one year. During this time the girls were known as arktoi, or little she-bears. A myth explaining this servitude relates that a bear had formed the habit of regularly visiting the town of Brauron, and the people there fed it, so that over time the bear became tame. A young girl teased the bear, and, in some versions of the myth it killed her, while in other versions it clawed her eyes out. Either way, the girl's brothers killed the bear, and Artemis was enraged. She demanded that young girls "act the bear" at her sanctuary in atonement for the bear's death.Virginal Artemis was worshipped as a fertility/childbirth goddess in some places, assimilating Ilithyia, since, according to some myths, she assisted her mother in the delivery of her twin. During the Classical period in Athens, she was identified with Hecate. Artemis also assimilated Caryatis (Carya).

What was the result in the conflict between Cleithenes and Isagoras?

Kleithenes, representing the majority won over Isagoras representing the upper classes in 509 BCE, and the citizens were reorganised into tribes, replacing the four divisions previously representing class/occupations. This was the first stage in establishing democracy in Attica (Athens' territory). However the aristocratic Council of the Aeropagus remained on top, and was not eliminated until 462 BCE by Ephialtes, when a fully democratic system was established (Ephialtes was subsequently murdered for his trouble).
