Detailed explanation-1: -Athens was a democratic state where education, art, and philosophy was valued. Sparta was a military state where strength, size, and fighting capabilities were most important.
Detailed explanation-2: -Athens and Sparta differed because Athens was a democracy and Sparta was an oligarchy. Also, Spartans focused very much on military and that was the main goal–to raise strong boys to be in the military whereas Athens wanted to raise educated people not just for fighting. Also, Sparta respected women more than Athens.
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the main ways they were similar was in their form of government. Both Athens and Sparta had an assembly, whose members were elected by the people. Sparta was ruled by two kings, who ruled until they died or were forced out of office. Athens was ruled by archons, who were elected annually.
Detailed explanation-4: -While Spartans valued military strength, Athenians placed a higher value on education and culture.
