Sparta is better because...

Style of Government

  • oligarchy: two kings, but little power
  • performed religious ceremonies
  • with strict rule
  • was stable but limited new ideas

Military

  • built up a helot revolt in 650 B.C.E.
  • stressed discipline
  • men prepared for a life of war starting at age 7

Life in Sparta

  • women had more freedom than in other places
  • boys were disciplined and taught to fight

Even though they did not modernize and did limit thinking, Sparta was stable and a strong military power!
