Sparta relies on

Farming for economy

While Athens relies

On………

Trading!

In Sparta life was …….

In rough conditions

No luxuries

And you had to be a “tough” figure

Boys lived in army camps by age 7

2 kings ruled the land

People had to pay taxes daily

There were 2 groups of citizens….

The Perioeci people who were

Protected by each law

And the Helots who

Were not

On the other hand….

Athens was amazing!

Lots of public places!

EVEN PUBLIC BATHS!!

Boys went to school….

While girls learned at home

They were ruled in a

Democracy

People had a say!

Some similarities between trade

were

Systems of government and….

Militaristic focuses

And judgment

Sparta beliefs in

Greek mythology

Specifically Ares

While Athens believed in

Greek Mythology also

Specifically Athena

Sparta’s physical characteristics are

Valley’s and mountains

Evrotas which is a river

And rich soil

While Athens was covered with

streams

ridges

mountains

And valleys

Sparta and Athens

Were enemies in all wars

And tried to overcome one

another

Sparta go their

Basic needs from

farming

And from

Stealing!

Athens and Sparta

Were in the Peloponnesian War

Against each other

Sparta and Athens

Are enemies!
