Spartans have always been known for their incredible army. Every male in the city was to be a warrior.
When a boy turns seven in Sparta,
they have to go through something
called the Agoge to train
and learn how to put the
country and the military
before their own family.

Both Sparta and Athens
believed in many gods who
rule and control everything
around them.
The two city-states both wore very similar
clothes.
Religion
there are many songs,
poems, and art that the
Spartans and Athens made

Education
Spartan education starts when you're seven and doesn't end until you're thirty. It is very intense.
Athenian boys and girls at a young age were taught at home, and when a boy turns six he sent to school, but the girls stayed at home and began learning how to be a stay-at-home mom.
PELOPONNESIAN WAR
Where the ladies at?
At a young
age for the Spartan
women, they learn how to
be just as strong as the boys and
were just as educated as the men were. But for the Athenien women, they were a whole different class. They learned how to cook and clean. The women could not vote just as the children could not either.
The Athens were known for a big word we use today, Democracy. Democracy was ahuge success for the Athens and along with that and their beautiful art, made them very powerful and well known.
The Spartans and Athenians were both great city-states with growing power. It was only a matter of time before the two great armies clashed heads. Between 431-404 BC we found out that Sparta has the bigger spear.
