1. What were some ways that Sparta and Athens were alike and different? They were alike because Sparta was the main rival of Athens, the children were to go to school from the age of seven. The differences were that Sparta only concentrated on making a stronger army, so for example all the children age of 7 moved to military barracks. But in Athens didn’t concentrate only on army, they tried to make people good citizens and help people. 2. What form of government existed in ancient Sparta? In ancient Sparta there was part monarchy, part oligarchy and part democracy. So in Sparta who kings ruled and there were five selected people who ran the government. They also had 30 people in Council of Elders who tried to propose the law. 3. How were direct democracy and education related in Athens? In Athens direct democracy made everybody in the court be fair.
4. What roles did Athens and Sparta play in defeating the Persians? In 499B.C when Persia attacked by sea in Anatolia, Athens, which had a strong navy, helped Sparta defeat Persia. Than in 490 B.C. Persia attacked Athens in the plains of Marathon. So they send a soldier to ask for help to the Spartans, who were strong army. Like this Sparta and Athens protect each other. 5. How did the conquest of the helots make it necessary for Sparta to be a military state, and how did the conquest make such a state possible? When Sparta conquest helots, they started to have rebels and usually Sparta’s army was out numbered so from that Sparta decided to focus mostly on the Army.
6. How was the role of women in Sparta and Athens different? Expectation for women in Sparta was to be tough emotionally and physically. For girls they had athletic training and learned how to defense themselves. Because their husbands were away, they were allowed to own property and had more freedom. Expectation for woman in Athens was almost the opposite. In Athens they were to be good mother and wives. They learned to house hold and few learned how to read. Also they were allowed to keep property only if they did not have a son.

1. What were some ways that Sparta and Athens were alike and different? Sparta had a government that was a little bit of all the types, monarchy, oligarchy, and democracy. IN Sparta two kings ruled and the people elected five supervisors which ran the government. There was also a Council of Elders who was 30 older citizens who proposed the laws. In Athens though, they had two governing bodies. There was a council of 400 people which took care of daily problems and the Assembly who voted on policies the council made. In Sparta the Assembly was made up of all citizens. 2. What form of government existed in ancient Sparta? Sparta had parts of all three government, oligarchy, monarchy, and democracy. Two kings ruled Sparta while the rest of the government was made of big groups called the Council and The Assembly. 3. How were direct democracy and education related in Athens? People who were citizens basically had more rights than non-citizens. Non-citizens are foreigners, women, children, and slaves. Slaves made up one-third of the population. Boys of wealthy families started school when they were six or seven. School taught them how to be wealthy citizens. They also studied. People who were non-citizens, or poor people, couldn’t go to school. This is because direct democracy made the “classes” so. 4. What roles did Athens and Sparta play in defeating the Persians? The Persians attacked Athens for trying to help the people of Anatolia during a revolt. Athens sent a runner to Sparta to try and get some help. The Spartans came too late. The Athenians tricked the Persians and killed most of their men while losing very little of theirs. Still during the war many Greek city-states united against Persia. The Spartans guarded a narrow pass for two days which helped the Athenians to prepare for battle which gave them a lot of extra time. Without the Spartan Athens could have been defeated. 5. How did the conquest of the helots make it necessary for Sparta to be a military state, and how did the conquest make such a state possible? 6. How was the role of women in Sparta and Athens different? People of Sparta wanted women to be tough, emotionally and physically. The education for girls was like boys but the boys were a little more tough and rigorous. Spartan women were strong and were able to defend themselves. Women had more freedom in Sparta and could own land and had to protect their husbands land if in war. Athenian women had less freedom. Their roles were to keep their family strong. Women in Athens were also priestesses in temples to fulfill important religious roles. Women could only get property if their father had no sons. -Aleena ;D

1. What were some ways that Sparta and Athens were alike and different? Athens and Spartans had many similarities and differences. Athens and Sparta both shared the same culture and the language, because they both were the city-states of Greece. They both had government, too. They both set up the education system. Also, Athens and Spartans elected for governments. Though, Athens and Sparta had many differences. First, Sparta almost only focused on army, so they could¡¯ve captured the helots (Spartan term for slaves), so they could¡¯ve let all the works to them, and Spartans focused to keep them for not rebellions. Unlike the Spartans, Athens focused on the government, army, and necessary construction. They were very alike, but also very different. 2. What form of government existed in ancient Sparta? Sparta had 3 form of government. They were monarchy, oligarchy, and also democracy. Spartan citizens elected five people for the supervisors. The laws were made established by Council of Elders, made of 30 older people. There were two kings ruling Sparta. So there were democracy, monarchy, and democracy. 3. How were direct democracy and education related in Athens? In Athens, only citizen of Athens could¡¯ve vote. They were big part of the assemblies about important government role. Rich and wealthy people sent their children/child (only boys) to prepare for debating during the assemblies. They learned reading writing, poetry, arithmetic, and music. Especially, reading and writing were important, because they played great role on debating on the assemblies. 4. What roles did Athens and Sparta play in defeating the Persians? Athens and Spartans were rivals, although they helped a lot when they were in emergency; especially when greater enemies invaded them, and the Persians were one of them. Persian was an empire around the Southeast Asia. When they invaded Athens in 480 B.C., they requested help to Spartans, and 300 Spartans were sent for the request of help. While they were sacrificed, Athens had time to prepare for the war. 5. How did the conquest of the helots make it necessary for Sparta to be a military state, and how did the conquest make such a state possible? Spartan captured helots, and forced them to do all the work, such as construction, working on agriculture, mines, homes, and some helots worked for their masters; and because the helots have stood up against the Spartans like rebels, Spartans focus on army to make sure and keep the helots working, as well as capturing more helots. 6. How was the role of women in Sparta and Athens different? Sparta expected women to be tough, emotionally, and physically. They were trained to be athletic, to be strong enough to defend themselves. This may have been because of their husbands mostly couldn¡¯t protect their wives. Also, women could¡¯ve vote, and they had the right to own property. They had a lot of freedom. Athenian women were expected to be good wives, as well as good mothers. Their roles were expected because they kept the family and the society strong. Also, some women took role in religious works. In spite of their jobs and importance, women couldn¡¯t vote, they had less freedom, and they could¡¯ve own properties only if they didn¡¯t have a son. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
