Athens was a rich and cultured state. Among its citizens were astronomers, mathematicians, thinker, writers and artists. Although this was a society with slaves, the rulers had vision, and its goverment was the first real democracy. Athens had the best navy in Greece while Sparta's economy, like that of Athens, was based on slave workers but there was no democracy. Sport was encouraged, and girls as well as boys were expected to be fit and athletic. Sparta was run like an army camp, in which everyone was expected to obey. Boys as young as seven were taken from home and trained to be soldiers.
