In 431 BCE, nearly fifty years after they had driven the Persians from their homeland, Athens and Sparta fought each other in the Peloponnesian War. Spartans worried that Athens was becoming too powerful with other Greek city-states under its control.

Athenian schools taught logic, reading, writing, arithmetic, and music. Boys learned to play stringed instruments and memorized poems. Additionally, every young man received two years of military instruction and many years of physical education. Athenian educators wanted to produce loyal Athenian citizens. However, they also wanted to produce cultured, well-rounded men who loved art, music, and sports. The perfect citizen would be equally comfortable on the battlefield and in the assembly
The city-state of Sparta was located less than one hundred miles southwest of Athens. While there was not a great distance between the two city-states, there was a great difference in opinions on education. Spartans raised their children to be warriors. They had no interest in developing “well-rounded individuals,” or individuals of any sort. The Spartan educational system focused on military training, starting from a young age.
The Athenians required two years of military training—but the Spartans required twenty-three! In Sparta, little time was spent on learning how to read or write. Instead, students focused on physical fitness.
Athenian women played an important role in religious affairs. But they had almost no rights when it came to government and laws. They could not own property or participate in debates in the assembly.
This was because the entire Spartan city-state was a military unit. Everyone had a role to play in this military life. Spartan women did not fight, but they did have more rights than Athenian women. For example, they could own land. They were encouraged to take part in footraces and other sports so that they would be healthy mothers. Once they became mothers, they were expected to help raise their sons to be warriors.
What were some similarities between Athens and Sparta? What were some differences?
