Introduction. Sparta was a warrior society in ancient Greece that reached the height of its power after defeating rival city-state Athens in the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.).
There were many similarities between Greek city states. Sparta was, however, organized much different than the other important Greek city states. Sparta as a society is roundly criticized by most historical studies. This is in part because Greek history largely comes to us from the Athenians.Left unsaid is the fact that Athens like other Greek states had economies that were supported by large slave populations. Sparta and Athens do, however, represent two diametrically opposed concepts of the Greek city state.parta like many of the Greek city states appeared in the 9th century BC at the end of the Greek Dark Ages. Sparta was at first similar to other Greek city states, governed by a monarchy and small aristocracy.
