When Sparta defeated Athens in 405 BC where did Sparta rule from?
Sparta did't try to rule Athens. Having dismantled Athens' war power by destroying its fleet, it left Athens to sort itself out (though it did make one inefectual intervention to try to force stability).
Athens eventually re-established democracy and began to engage in the usual ongoing warfare amongst the Greek city-states on varying sides as self-interest dictated.

Is Human the subject of central to Greek art and culture?
Yes, Greek art and culture centered around humanism. The pagan Greeks celebrated the human form and mind, and their art reflects this. Statues such as Venus de Milo and Polykeitos's Doryphoros, along with the bounty of emotional, dramatic Hellenistic pieces, represent the cultural admiration for the beauty of the natural human. Philosophers such as Aristotle, who believed that humans could reach their full potential without the help of a diety (his works were later banned during the Middle Ages) emerged.
As the times of classic antiquity gave way to the Middle Ages, devotion to religion and a reverence for the Christian God replaced humanism. In the midst of the barren times of feudalism, famine and plagues like the Black Death scared people away from ideas like that.
Humanism returned in the 15th century, at the start of the Renaissance.

Greek numerals are a system of representing numbers using the letters of the Greek alphabet. The first Greek number system we examine is their acrophonic system which was use in the first millennium BC. 'Acrophonic' means that the symbols for the numerals come from the first letter of the number name, so the symbol has come from an abreviation of the word which is used for the number. Here are the symbols for the numbers 5, 10, 100, 1000, 10000. No one has claimed to be the author.

How did the physical geography of Greece affect the growth of the civilization?
The physical geography of Greece affected the growth of the civilization. First of all, the mountains separated the city-states which helped. Next, the bays provided harbors for ships, and the land was fertile, so they could farm. Also, they used the seas for trade, and transportation. The Greeks were very advanced at the time; they reached further into technology and arts than any other societies.
Who expanded the Athenian navy to fight Persia?
Themistocles. He persuaded the people to use a large strike of silver In the mines to pay for the fleet rather than dividing it up amongst themselves, foreseeing the increasing threat of a Persian invasion in retaliation for the defeat inflicted at Marathon.
The Persian Wars lasted for fifty years, and brought the Persians to accept that the Greek city-states would be independent.
The legacy of the Persian War was that Athens, having led a league of Ionian-Greek city-states against Persia for the second half of the Persian Wars, converted this league of apparently freed cities into an empire of its own. Athens used this Empire to finance its own benefit, and back aggression against the Peloponnesian League of Dorian-Greek city-states led by Sparta. This led to the Peloponnesian War between the two groups, which Athens lost, and was stripped of it's empire.
Persia supported the Peloponnesian League during that war, and after that league defeated the Athenian league, and fighting still persisted between the Greek cities, took the opportunity to reclaim the Greek city-states in Asia Minor to its own empire.
