In which way was life in Athens different than Sparta?

Sparta: Women had more rights than Athens. They were expected to be strong and protect the house if the men were not home. They were expected to produce stong healthy boys as well. Sparta focused mainly on the human body strength and military rather than research, development, and government. Sparta was more poor than Athens. I think Sparta had less slaves as well. Sparta's God was if Im not mistaken, Ares or Artemis. Athens: Women had less rights than Sparta and I think they were not allowed to leave the house without a slave or the husband. Athens focused on research, development, and government producing democracy which spread throughout Greece. Athens was generally a rich city. Athens' God was Athena.
