The Spartans led a harder life; they focused more on military than the Athenians. Athenians were known to be thinkers, philosophizers, and a generally softer people. Spartans were known to be warriors, who were raised from early childhood to be such, and the weak wouldn't be as likely to survive in their society, though Athenians were known to throw unwanted babies to the wolves in the same way that Spartans would.

Spartan soldiers, known for their rigorous training and discipline, excelled in close combat and were highly effective in phalanx formations.

At birth, an Athenian female's future life is largely confined to the domestic sphere, where she is expected to marry, manage the household, and raise children, with limited education and public engagement. In contrast, a Spartan female is encouraged to be physically active and educated, preparing her for a more robust role in society, including property ownership and contributing to the warrior culture of Sparta. While Athenian women have restricted freedoms, Spartan women enjoy a degree of independence and responsibility, reflecting their city-states' differing values.

In Ancient Greece, the Spartan and Athenian governments differed essentially for the better part of their histories. Spartan society was ruled by kings wielding absolute power, with a small group of elite advisers also influential. By contrast, the "Golden" era for Athens witnessed democracy's birth -- and rule. Although limited in scope, with (for example) only adult males being able to vote and hold public office, Athenian democracy valued public debate and consensual decision-making, and public leaders were typically held accountable to the citizens for their actions.
