Were Athens Better Than Sparta

Athens and Sparta had lots of things in common, but Athens had and did stuff better than Sparta. Like Athens geography, they were able to develop a strong naval fleet because they were close to the Aegean sea, and geographic features helped influence the development of society. Also, it was easier for Athens to trade because they were close to the Aegean sea. They also had better cultural achievements. Athens had the Olympic games when people come and watch people fight and do tons of activities. Also, the Olmpic games provided greeks to produce lasting cultural achievements in architecture, math, sculpture, and poetry.
Athens is also the birthplace of democracy. They believed in individual excellence unlike Sparta, and Athens did not require
7 year old boys to leave their homes and comforts to go train in the military to develop strength to protect and defend their city. So Sparta basically had a harder life than Athens. Where would you rather live? At one point in Athens around 500 b.c peisistratos’ sons took power, but one got murdered and theother son became cruel and harsh. The citizens hated him and expelled him. The citizens created an assembly to vote and decide on new laws and they created a council of 500. Also, the citizens created a jury to fix problems and make judgements when someone broke the law.
