Spartan
• The Spartans favorite weapon is
a spear. When the younger boys
turned 7 they would be able to
train for battles, war and the
olympics. The women in Sparta
could not become a citizen, vote
or hold public office. They could
represent themselves in court
and they were aloud to own their
own home. When a boy turned
seven they would leave home
and start at the military training
in the barracks. The women
wore plain clothing, they cut their
hair short and did not wear any
perfume.
Athens

Athens
• Athens was the arch enemies of
Sparta. Athens is the largest and
is the capital of Ancient Greece.
When a baby girl was born the
father would decide wether or
not to kill her. That is because
boys make more money when
the girls at home and doing the
house work.The house of a
normal athenian is a two story
house but it was very small.
Some of the girls got to get a
tutor because only boys would
be aloud to go to school. Athens
was the first place that held the
modern olympic game.
