Technological and Cultural Advancement in Athens and Sparta Culture, defined as collective manifestations of human intellectual achievement and arts (dictionary), is fundamental to technological growth. The interests of a civilizations society will determine which direction they will progress as a whole. Likewise, civilizations with dissimilar interests that exist in the same time period can progress at different rates despite living in similar conditions. Athens and Sparta, both city-states in…

First off, I believe that Athens did not have the right resources and the right strategy due to lack of planning and a lack of willingness to adjust. Maybe if they had planned accordingly and made sure that they would be properly financed then it would not have been such a catastrophe disaster. The second reason I believe for the Athenian failure was the recall of Alcibiades. He was a man of his people and very charismatic. The only reason the Athenian people put up with Alcibiades behavior…

My life as a Spartan Greek Citizen in the 5th century B.C.E Both Sparta and Athens are two of the main city-states that are found in Greece. The city-states of Sparta and Athens were considered rivals in Ancient Greece. They are physically close in proximity to one another.

In this paper, I will discuss what my life would be like if I was a Greek…

The Parthenon is a temple that towers above the city of Athens, symbolizing the Athenians' wealth and power. The Parthenon was built as a part of the Acropolis in Athens and it served two main purposes. First, the temple is dedicated to Athena Parthenos, a Greek goddess and the city-symbol of Athens. This temple served as a monument to Athena because they believed that she helped the Greeks conquer the Persian Empire in the Persian Wars. Second, it was also a part of the state treasury. Tax…

“ Athens and Sparta ” by Mr. Duckworth states,” Where they differed was that while Spartans had militaristic values, Athenians were democratic.” This means that Sparta was more focused on their military. At the age of seven boys would go through military school. In Athens, though, they wanted to expand their infrastructure. Athens would have been a better place to live because men told women what to do, Athenian women had chores, and in Athens they used Limited Democracy. First, family…

Even after the war, Athens eventually rebuilt its walls, navy, League and democracy. Athenians would have not rebuilt democracy if they thought it did not work, if so, then it would be a waste of their time to rebuild something that clearly did not seem to bring any good. Looking at the history, Sparta should have lost the war. Athens had the leadership, resources and money to go to war. Their navy was strong and unbeatable. Sparta on the other hand lacked leadership, money and had no navy.…

“We are but parts of a whole, and therefore there must exist a power somewhere to preside, and preserve the connexion due order. This power is lodged in the Parliament; and we are as much dependent on Great Britain as a perfectly free people can be on another” (Dickinson). John Dickinson was a patriot until 1776, when he started to question if the colonists really needed to break away from England. He supported colonial rights, but did not support independence from Britain. Dickinson was one out…
