Sparta had a strong military reputation in Ancient Greece.

The difference between Sparta and Athens is that in Sparta, the ruling government was a military government, while in Athens, the ruling government was a democracy. In Sparta, the people focus on military matters. That is because of the fear of an uprising by their helots. In Athens, a democracy ruled. People voted on many matters such as which one they thought was the most dangerous to their testate and even military and naval expeditions against rival statutes. The different arts such as sculpture and poetry also flourished more in Athens. Athenians believed that one should also focus themselves on matters other than military ones. Athens focused on trades, technologies, civilizations, studies,... while Sparta focused on the military. That's why Spartan warriors were the most fierce warriors in Ancient Greece.

What are the similarities and differences between ancient greek women and today greek women?
If you compare their situation to that of women in today's more fundamentalist countries, there is very little difference. Women were the 'posession' of their nearest male relative or of their husband, had very little legal rights, were expected to mostly remain in side the house and to venture out only in case of the occasional visit to an 'approved' friend or relative. Only the women of Sparta were equal to the men, had full legal rights, could dress as they liked and participate in sports.
