Ancient Athens
And
Ancient Sparta...
So what's the difference???
Well Sparta
Didn't trade
So they relied on...
Farming and Conquering.
But Athens did trade....
And they specifically traded...
Pottery, bronze...
Olive Oil, Wine, and Textiles
Athens traded with
Italy and Afghanistan
Both Ancient Sparta and Athens were.....
PAGANISTS
So they believed...
In more than one god
and in Athens, all the people had jobs....
Like Smiths...
weavers....
And merchants.
But in Sparta..
It was all taken care of...
By the Helots
Which were like
the Spartan slaves
But Sparta
And Athens
Were rivals
Sparta was involved in...
The Trojan war.....
The Pelopenesian War...
And the Ionian War...
And Athens...
Was involved...
in the...
same wars...
Athens and Sparta relied on...
Olives...
Grapes...
And barley
They raised...
Animals like...
Donkeys and Sheep
To later slaughter and eat :(
Athens trading boats...
look like...
Large sailing boats...
Or even...
Small "pirate ships"...
With large square shaped sails.
(Olive Oil)
