How does the cartoon illustrate a key difference between Athens and Sparta?

Important differences between Athens and Sparta Athens

Movement toward democracy (limited to male citizens)

Focus on education and the arts

Military service, but also expected to explore many areas of knowledge

Sparta

Ruled by an oligarchy-power in the hands of a small, elite group

Intense focus on military training (boys begin at age 7)

Women-higher level of responsibility here (run estates while husbands fight)

Effects of Persian Wars? Greeks gain sense of pride/power from defeating

Persia Athens-now most powerful city-state

The Delian League-alliance of city-states loyal to Athens

Golden Age under Pericles (moved to direct democracy)

Sparta-forms the Peloponnesian League They encourage oligarchy rather than democracy Resent Athens dominance

27 year Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE)

Pericles Funeral Oration-What makes Athens great? "Our constitution does not copy the laws of

neighbouring states; we are rather a pattern to others than imitators ourselves.

We throw open our city to the world, and never by alien acts exclude foreigners from any opportunity of learning or observing…

…while in education, where our rivals from their very cradles by a painful discipline seek after manliness, at Athens we live exactly as we please, and yet are just as ready to encounter every legitimate danger.

Effects of Peloponnesian War Athens and Sparta both weakened

Plague from infected grain kills thousands (1/3 of population)

Savage acts committed on both sides Democratic government suffers setback

(corruption and unrest) Greeks continue to fight each other for

power Result=ability for outsiders to take over
