The Glory of Ancient Greece Section 2: Athens and Sparta Living in Sparta Life in Sparta was harsher than in Athens. The Spartans dedicated themselves to war. They conquered the surrounding lands and made slaves of the inhabitants. When the slaves came to outnumber the Spartans, Spartans always had to be on guard. Growing Up in Sparta Spartan boys were trained for warfare from an early age. They lived in barracks together and led difficult and brutal lives. They became soldiers at the age of 20 and remained so until age 60. Spartan girls had to exercise and wrestle. Spartan women took on more responsibility than other Greek women because their men were often not home. 1 of 4 The Glory of Ancient Greece Section 2: Athens and Sparta The Persians Invade Persian forces landed in Greece in 490 B.C., where they faced a much smaller Greek army.
