Detailed explanation-1: -Life in Sparta was vastly different from life in Athens. Located in the southern part of Greece on the Peloponnisos peninsula, the city-state of Sparta developed a militaristic society ruled by two kings and an oligarchy, or small group that exercised political control.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Spartans believed that military power was the way to provide security and protec-tion for their city. Daily life in Sparta reflected this belief.
Detailed explanation-3: -Around the year 650 BC Sparta was thoroughly reorganized by Lycurgus, who came to power after the city was humiliatingly defeated by its neighbor Argos. Lycurgus turned Sparta from a city ruled by an aristocratic elite into a far broader oligarchy dedicated solely to warfare.
