Detailed explanation-1: -One way that Athens and Sparta really differed was in their idea of getting along with the rest of the Greeks. Sparta seemed content to keep to itself and provide military strength and assistance when necessary. Athens, on the other hand, wanted to control more and more of the land around them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although Athens and Sparta had very big differences in culture and values, there were some basic similarities. First, they were both Greek city states. Even though they seem to be opposites, they both show different sides of Greek culture: beauty, intellectualism, militarism and order.
Detailed explanation-3: -Spartan boys entered a rigorous state-sponsored education, military training and socialization program. Known as the Agoge, the system emphasized duty, discipline and endurance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike such Greek city-states as Athens-a center for the arts, learning and philosophy-Sparta was centered on a warrior culture. Male Spartan citizens were allowed only one occupation: soldier. Indoctrination into this lifestyle began early.
