Ancient, Were, Spartans, Athenians, superior


Question by raeday95: How was were the ancient Athenians superior to the ancient Spartans?

Although ancient Sparta had many strengths, such as their military and the dependence on agriculture to be self-sufficient, I need to contrast, and say how the Athenians would attack my response.
So i need to examine how the Athenias were superior to the Spartans.

Answer by mongooselg
The Athenians had a navy, something that the Spartan lacked. Athens was also a center for culture, art, and philosophy, while Sparta was, well, Spartan and lacked culture.

It was becuase of Athens superior navy that the Greeks were able to defeat the Persians in the Second Persian War.
