Who has the most valued artist writers and architects Athens or Sparta?
When Athens established an empire over its allies in the wake of the Persian War, it had the money it extracted from then to spend on itself, and was able to use this on its own benefits and culture, and so was able to establish a strong cultural life.

After Athens lost the Peloponnesian War, it was stripped of the empire whos funds it lavished on itself, and had to go back to thrifty living along with Sparta.
What caused a lack of trust between Sparta and Athens?
In about 460 BCE, after the Persian invasion had been repelled by the combined Greek forces, Sparta was facing a revolt by its serf population in Messene, and making heavy weather in putting it down. Athens offered to help and sent an expeditionary force to reinforce the Spartan forces. The Athenians were very adventurous in their operations, and showed up Spartan methods, which was based on trying to force a pitched battle with an elusive opposition which declined to make itself such a target. There is also a suggestion thet the Athenians showed some sympathy for the Messenians. The upshot was that Sparta invited the Athenians to go home, and the usual cooperative spirit between the two cities soured. After peace was finally made with the Persians in 449 BCE, Athens converted the anti-Persian Delian League which it led into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war fund from the 200 cities of that league to use for its own benefit and maintaining a strong navy to enforce the annual collection of money. With this strength, Athens aggressively interfered in the affairs of the cities to which Sparta was allied in the Peloponnesian League, particularly Corinth. The Peloponnesian League members urged Sparta to help them stand up to Athens. A cocksure Athens persisted in interfering in other cities, and this came to a head when Athens banned Megara, a Peloponnesian League member, from trade with cities in its empire, which would destroy Megara. The Peloponnesian League demanded Sparta act, Sparta demanded Athens back off, Athens refused, war ensued.

Why in 431 BC did Sparta and other city-states join forces against Athens to fight the war?
After the Persian War, Athens turned the 180 city-states it had led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own. It then tried to use this power to dominate other city-states. The final straw was when it tried to bankrupt its neighbour Megara, which belonged to the Dorian Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. Megara asked for help, Sparta demanded Athens back off, Athens continued and the devastating 27-year Peloponnesian War followed.
