What was the Peloponnesian League?
The Peloponnesian League was formed by several states within the Peloponnese and headed by Sparta. League states included Sparta, Corinth, Elis and Tegea. Eventually, the league included all of the Peloponnese states except Argos and Achaea. After the Persian War, it became the Hellenic League and expanded to include Athens and other states as well.
How were Athens and Sparta city states different?
Sparta had a conquered territory which was far greater than that or other Greek cities, including Athens, except when the latter briefly got itself an empire. Sparta had a limited democracy, where the citizens voted on motions placed before them by the magistrates. Athens had a fifty-year era of direct democracy where the citizens voted and the magistrates implemented. However this then reverted to the limited democracy maintained by the Spartans and others. Spartan women had considerable freedoms. In Athens women were kept in virtual purdah, running the household and raising children. Sparta was conservative in its approach to other city-states, avoiding conflict as much as it could, but exercising its power when forced to. Athenians were adventurous, taking advantage of any opportunity which presented to extend its influence and power.
What was the role of a man in Greek?
In Greece, a man was required to do everything except keep the house in order and raise the children.
What is the largest city in ancient Greece?
The ancient Greek world was comprised of a couple of thousand independent city-states stretching from Spain to Asia Minor. So there was no 'Greece' or capital of Greece - the Greeks were a people not a nation as in today's term. There were major cities such as Thebes, Corinth, Athens, Sparta, Syracuse, Miletus, but as there was no country, there was no capital. Each city was the 'capital' or centre of its territory.
