Main Ideas • The Spartans built a military society to provide security and protection. • The Athenians admired the mind and the arts in addition to physical abilities. • Sparta and Athens fought over who should have power and influence in Greece. Main Idea 1: The Spartans built a military society to provide security and protection. • Daily life in Sparta was dominated by the army, and boys were trained from an early age to be soldiers. – Spartan men reached full citizenship at age 30 and could then move back home, but they stayed in the army until they turned 60. • Courage, strength, self-discipline, and obedience were the most important qualities to have. • Because men were often at war, women had more rights than other Greek women. – They ran the household and owned property. – They also received physical training and sometimes competed with men in sporting events. Government • Sparta was officially ruled by two kings who jointly led the army, but elected officials actually had more power than the kings. • These officials handled dealings between Sparta and other citystates. • Sparta’s government was set up to control the city’s helots, or slaves. Main Idea 2: The Athenians admired the mind and the arts in addition to physical abilities. Boys and Men in Athens • Sparta’s main rival in Greece was Athens. • Though they also worked to improve their bodies, they had to devote only two years to the army. • They learned to read, write, count, and sing. • Wealthy boys continued their education with a private tutor. • Boys from poor families usually became farmers. Girls and Women in Athens • Unlike boys, girls received almost no education, because men did not think they needed to be educated. • Athenian women had fewer rights than women in many other citystates; in fact, they hardly had any at all. Main Idea 3: Sparta and Athens fought over who should have power and influence in Greece. • Sparta and Athens worked together to win the Persian Wars. • After the Persian Wars, city-states joined an alliance, which historians call the Delian League. – “Alliance” means they agreed to work together. • Sparta formed its own alliance, called the Peloponnesian League. The Peloponnesian War • Sparta declared war on Athens, starting the Peloponnesian War. • The war lasted for ten years before they decided to call a truce. • The war started up once more when Athens tried to expand its empire. The Spartans won. • With the defeat of Athens, Sparta became the most powerful citystate in Greece. • Other city-states started to resent Sparta, leading to a period of war. • Control of Greece shifted from one city-state to another for years.
