Sparta was distinct from other Greek city-states primarily due to its military-oriented society and strict social structure, which prioritized discipline and training over arts and commerce. While other city-states like Athens emphasized democracy, culture, and intellectual pursuits, Sparta was governed by a dual monarchy and a council of elders, focusing on a rigorous upbringing for its citizens through the agoge system. This emphasis on military prowess fostered a unique social hierarchy, including a division between the ruling Spartiates, the subjugated helots, and the free non-citizens known as perioikoi. As a result, Sparta cultivated a communal identity centered around warfare and resilience, setting it apart from its contemporaries.
