  Athens and Sparta were different in fundamental ways. They were two harsh ruling systems. The

most basic one is that Sparta was 3 times bigger than Athens . Another difference was that Sparta

ruled autocratically but Athens had ruled by many different people, the last ruler of Athens was wise

and treated his people fairly. Spartans were born to be warriors, no matter women or men, they both

needed to be trained and to fight (for most of them). However, some of the Athenians were free and

have rights,  some of them could take part in ruling council but only men(and had to be citizens)

could take part in those works.

  The Greeks had many accomplishments, Athens towarded democracy(it was the first one), both the

Athens and Sparta had poems, literature, music and arts. They even had their government and rules.

They had wars and kept a lot of things in words so that people could know what happened in the past.

  It's the similar ways that how America rules and how Greeks ruled. Greeks had a lot of different

states so that they could hold all of life's possibilities. Life in Greeks was vivid and because they had

small states they could see almost everything. In the U.S, it has a lot of city states and this is  similar

to Greeks. They both have governments and the rules for life, people and states. That's how I feel

America has the legacy from greeks.
