Yes, Sparta relied on a system of slaves called helots who were more numerous than the free citizens; in fact, the helots greatly outnumbered the Spartan citizens. In contrast, Athens also had slaves but fewer in number compared to the free population.
Slaves in Athens and Sparta did not have a lot of rights. They where not even allowed to go to religious festivals and they had to ask their master's permission to even go to the bathroom!
Rome and Athens relied on slaves for most of the work - farming, grazing, household, construction, mining. Perhaps two thirds of the populations were slaves. Sparta was different - it had serfs, people who were free but tied to their land, who had to deliver half their produce to the state. Athens and Sparta both used their slaves/serfs as light infantry in war.
Sparta depended on slaves and helots (people from a nearby settlement who were forced to work.
athens was made up of four social classes. aristocrats,citizens,metics and slaves.
Sparta was different from Athens because Athens was more artlike and Sparta was tought to be tough ruthless people they were tought to steal kill and make slaves but on the other hand Athens did not go crazy with power like Sparta did they maintained society and they made laws to enforce what you should live like back then
Just to name a few, in Sparta they had nearly 100,000 slaves compared to the 40,000 slaves that Athens had.
Athens was enemies with Sparta and Sparta was enemies with Athens
Two differences between Athens and Sparta are their forms of government (Athens had a democracy while Sparta had an oligarchy) and their focus on military training (Sparta emphasized military training from a young age while Athens did not). Two similarities are their use of slaves for labor and their belief in the importance of physical fitness.
Both Athens and Sparta provided similar freedoms for their citizens (adult males). In Athens, females had little freedom, and slaves none. In Sparta, women had similar freedom to the males, and serfs had limited freedom, being bound to their land.
