Answer :

the focus of the times was directed towards military capabilities, while the Athenians were more interested in comfort and culture. It was the oligarchy in Sparta that put a war-like attitude as its first priority and best met the needs of Ancient Greece.

Explanation:

Answer:

Athens:

The ancient Athenian education seeks sports training and ethical training of the citizen. The primitive Paidea (spiritual movement) aims to form strong and agile bodies and to prepare young boys from childhood for athletics, by observing its rules. The Athenian girls only learned housework: cooking, wool and weaving, and perhaps a little reading, calculations and music - he learns it with his mother, a grandmother or the maids of the family. Physical education occupies a primary role in Athenian training. The cultivation of the spirit was more artistic than intellectual. Singing, dancing and the use of musical instruments constituted the content of spiritual education, to this was added the moral formation. The learning of reading, writing and calculating begins to prevail as the Paidea deals less with the literary and scientific aspect. Then learning the letters makes sense because it is the beginning of wisdom. This new orientation encourages the dissemination of culture and prepares the emergence of schools.

The economy of Ancient Greece was based on three great activities: agriculture, commerce and crafts. ... In the Hellenistic period, great economic advances were introduced such as the widespread use of currency, the figure of bankers and the appearance of great merchants.

Sparta:

On the other hand, the Spartans were a warrior caste, dedicated to training their citizens from small for war with other polis and thus expand their territory. The government of Sparta was the aristocracy, the monarchy, the republic and the diarchy. The basis of the Spartan economy was the cultivation of cereals, vines and olives, and the extraction of minerals. Fearing foreign influences, they kept foreign trade to a minimum. They left the tasks related to commerce and industry in the hands of the Periecos. Bearing and raising children was considered the most important role for women in Spartan society; equal to male warriors in the Spartan army. Spartan women were encouraged to produce many children, preferably male, to increase Sparta's military population. They took pride in having borne and raised brave warriors.

Conclusion: In ancient Greece, two models of organization have emerged in their city-states, the extremes of both models were the cities of Athens and Sparta, Athens usually had a democratic society and focused on commerce and the arts, on the other hand, Sparta was a militaristic state in which a ruling and warrior class exploited low-class and defenseless people.
