What was life in both Sparta and Athens like?
Sparta was a war-oriented city; everything revolved around military training. This is probably why Sparta had the strongest army of ancient times. At the age of 7, boys were sent off to military school where they would be taught discipline and obedience, and they remained tied to the military for the rest of their lives. Even women were expected to be physically superior; they were expected to train and participate in athletic events in order to bear strong children. In fact, the only people that received headstones on their graves in Sparta are the men who died in war and the women who dies in childbirth.
Athens, on the other hand, was more intellectually driven. Athenian men did receive military training, but only for a limited time; the only time that the army was assembled was during a war, and after the war, everyone went back to living normal, peaceful lives. Even though Athens' army may not have been very strong, their navywas the strongest one in the Greek world.
Many of the famous ancient thinkers - such as Socrates, Aristotle, Hippocrates, and so on - were from Athens. Politics were also very big in Athens; this city is where democracy originated, and almost everyone in Athens could participate in the government.
