Sparta had the stronger army, renowned for its highly trained and disciplined military forces, particularly the Spartan hoplites. Their rigorous training and focus on warfare made them formidable in battle, especially in land conflicts. Athens, while possessing a powerful navy and advanced tactics, relied more on its maritime strength and was not as militarily dominant on land as Sparta. Thus, in terms of ground forces, Sparta was the preeminent military power in ancient Greece.
