480 b.C.

The helots were serfs, that is they were bound to the land, and obliged to give a portion of the produce to the owner of the land - to the city of Sparta which had taken over the land. Therefore they lived on their farms and could not leave them.

The direct distance between Sparta and Athens is 212.7 kilometers. While to two city-states could reach each other by land, they often sailed because it was quicker.

Athens

They were a military state, focused on creating supreme warriors. However, their state was also focused on doing "what was right"... Much like the greek custom of Xenia. One philosopher (Xenophon) once noted that at an olympic games, an elderly man was looking for a seat and the Spartans stood up for him to sit down. The Greeks did not stand up but instead applauded the Spartans for doing so. They also had equal rights for women. No other state in the classical world had this type of power for women. Even Egypt, who had female priestesses and pharoahs did not let all women have equal power.

So they weren't that bad. They just chucked away feeble babies. But they were often adopted by Helots who lived in the mountains.

Helots were executed if they got too fat.

Because they destroyed Greece and killed thousands.

It was ruled only by a selected few, called an oligarchy

Pleistarchus son of Leonidas I Agiad King of Sparta was new born when his father defended the Thermopylae at 480 BCE. His cousin Pausanias acted as regent until he reached the eligible age to be a King. He died at 458 BCE at the age of 22.

It was Destroyed by the Persians

Ancient Sparta focused more on military achievements and ancient Athens thought more of academic knowledge. Athens were a democracy and Sparta was an oligarchy

I think they invented coins for trade, and they also invented a political system.

To develope the fighting skill at war to gain money and land and slave at war and to protect the city and to win most of their battles

Spartans, like many Ancient Greeks, were obsessed with appearances. Men were supposed to grow up to be strong and good-looking. Likewise, woman were supposed to be healthy enough to bear children and at the same time be beautiful. Spartans were so obsessed with this image that they would inspect newborns to ensure that the babies would grow up to be strong and able citizens. Any baby that was seen as being weak or had any sort of birth defect was thrown into the Apothetae.

The Spartans won some, lost some. They won through two factors - the strength of their army based on their constant military training as a way of life, and they fought with allies which bolstered their united strength.

They also eventually moved to the sea, subsidised by Persian money to build a fleet.

They began losing when the ongoing fighting they were involved in eroded their available military manpower, and they became a second-class military power capable only of defending their own territory.

Greek life was dominated by religion and so it is not surprising that the temples of ancient Greece were the biggest and most beautiful.They also had a political purpose as they were often built to celebrate civic power and pride, or offer thanksgiving to the patron deity of a city for success in war.

Sparta was a city-state in ancient Greece along the banks of the Eurotas River in Laconia. It was an Oligarchy ruled by two hereditary kings, both supposedly descendants of Hercales. Their duties were mainly religious, judicial and military.

Growing up as a girl in ancient Sparta meant being taught to read and write by your mother, who was also literate. This was unthinkable elsewhere in Greece. It also meant being given physical training, so that in the future the young woman would bear healthy little warriors for Sparta's defense.

Growing up as a boy was also unique in Greece. It could mean infanticide if the experts decided the boy was too frail or handicapped as an infant. If one survived that one began physical training at 7 years old, which in essence was the first stages of a military career. Every male was in the military in Sparta. At about 12 years old the boys left their parents and lived in a common "mess" with other boys of varying ages. This was a hard adolescence of fights, wrestling competitions, stealing each other's food just to survive, enduring hazing type rituals by the older boys, and either surviving to live into adulthood or not making it and probably dying in one of the many tests.
