Sparta vs Athens: Which was the greatest empire? Back in the day, these two famous city-states were bitter rivals for dominance over the Greek Archipelago. Sparta was known for its military and, well, spartan culture with its fierce warriors and advanced fighting strategy. On the other hand, Athens was inherently different. Military service was optional, Athenian culture was based on its rich philosophy, arts, literature, architecture and sports.
