My Global Studies class is doing a debate about whether Sparta or Athens is a better society. I would be extremely appreciative of anyone with additional information to help support Athens. Thanks so much!
The Spartan military was flawed because they had no real navy or armada. That was were Athens had them beat. Also, in their society, they eliminated all individualism, art, expression, and took kids away at age 7 to be taught to be a soldier.
