In ancient Greece the city-state Athens believed that education was more important. athens also believed that everyone was an individual an sparta thought of groups. in athens their government was democracy voted by people. On the other hand Sparta believed that the military was more important. Sparta sent all the boys of the age 7 to prepare for the military. Instead Athens had their students learn from philosophers. Philosophers are people who seek answers to difficult question. Athens had control of all the city states because they controlled the Delian league. The Delian league was controlled by Perciles. He made alliances with the military to strengthen the Athenian empire Sparta got upset and they went to war. Athens had many years of violence and chaos. Perciles hired architects and artist to glorify Athens. Athens had more knowledge and power than Sparta. But Sparta’s military service was stronger. In ancient Greece it was book smarts for Athens and streets smarts for Sparta.
