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.
