What was the difference in the type of ruling Sparta and Athens?
While Athenians revered politics and public services, and found participating in either an honor, the Spartans were the exact opposite. Spartans would say that the only worthy public service is serving your country is in the military. Spartans left the majority of running the government to ephors. Men to old or to maimed to be of any help in the military, men that had a son killed were also included in this group (if they couldn't lie their way out of it). This difference can all be seen in one defining fact; Spartans not only let their helots participate in the government but gave them a level of power that the Athenians usually left for only some of the more respected citizens of Athens. Also should be mentioned the word laconic directly applies to the spartan way of public speaking, something they detested.

What did Athens and Sparta receive training in?
OK, first its the Athenians and Spartans, come on. I"m a kid and i can spell better then who asked this. Athenians and Spartans were trained in different things. The Spartans were trained purely for war. At age 7 all Spartan boys were sent to school to learn how to fight, and lie, and steal food. They were essentially taught to fight and stay alive. Spartan women were taught how to be a good wife and how to have children but other than that women were not taught very much. I'm not exactly sure what Athenians were taught. Some were taught to fight, some to be other professions such as a doctor, and women were more respected and had better rights in Athens.

Why did the greek tyranny lose power?
At the end of the Classical period, around 360 B.C., the Greek city-states were weak and disorganized from two centuries of warfare.

All this fighting made it easy for another, previously unexceptional city-state to rise to power.

Did Spartans farm more than Athenians?
Farming was the basis of all the ancient Greek city-states, equally so in Sparta and Athens. The difference was that Athenians owned and farmed their own plots. In Sparta, after they conquered Messenia they turned the people into serfs (bound to the land and paying a percentage of their cops to their overlord). Their overlord was Sparta, which allocated the produce of seven serfs to each Spartan citizen, which allowed the Spartans to concentrate on military training. The Athenian farmers obviously had to do their military training part time.
