How did the spartan society differ from the athhenian?

The Spartans were a war like city-state that preferred strength rather than art and knowledge. Boys entered the spartan army at age 7 and retired at age 65.Women also had more rights, because their husbands were at war they controlled the property and kids. But in Athens, wifes of nobles and any woman really, wasn't allowed to leave her home. Girls also weren't allowed to go to school. In Athens, boys learned the works of Homer and how to play instruments. They also loved the arts and learning. But they also had one of the strongest armies. Athens defeated Persia 3 times and helped to improve trade in the Medeteranian (srry for bad spelling) Athens became one of the most powerful and important city states in all of Greece. The began to rule like an empire, and our of fear, the Spartans began the Peloponisian war. So Athens was a balance of Brain and brawn, while Sparta was all brawn. By the way, in Sparta the individual didn't matter. It was what the person did for the city- state that mattered.
