The Spartans helped the Athenians on several occasions and vice versa.
If you are talking about the Persian expedition against Athens in 490 BCE, the Spartans were engaged in a mandatory religious festival when the request for help from Athens arrived. As soon as the festival ended, they hit the road but arrived too late for the battle of Marathon, but marched on to view the battlefield, congratulated the Athenians and went home.

How do you think the Athenians felt about the Spartans reply in the battle of Marathon?
The Athenians fully understood serious religious obligations and were prepared to wait for the Spartans to arrive to help them. However the Athenian army spotted an opportunity when the Persian cavalry was being embarked and ran in for the kill against the now-unsupported weaker Persian infantry.Their religious obligation concleded, the Spartans took to the road and marched non-stop 60 miles to the scene but were too late. They went on to view the battlefield, congratulated the Athenians on their fine performance, and went home somewhat disappointed at having missed out on a good stoush. No malice here on either side. The Athenians helped the Spartans put down a rebellion in Messenia 30 years later.
Why did the Athenians and the Spartans not get along after the Persians Wars?
Sparta's serf population revolted and Athens sent a force to help the Spartans put it down. Then the Athenian soldiers started to sympathise with the serfs , so the Spartans sent them home. Relations froze. When the Athenians made an empire out of the Delian League cities it had led against the persians, it became adventurous and interfered in the affairs of the cities of the Peloponnesian League which Sparta led. Sparta asked Athens to back off, an overconfident Athens persisted and war ensued.

Did Sparta get there in time to help the Battle of Marathon?
No, the Athenians had been waiting in the hills for them to arrive, when they saw the Persian cavalry being loaded on ships, and seized the opportunity to run down and defeat the inferior Persian infantry unprotected by its cavalry. When the Spartans arrived, they inspected the battlefield, congratulated the Athenians and went home.

Did Athena start the Spartans?
No quite the opposite; Athena started the Athenians. I'm not for sure but I think Ares was the main deity for Sparta. Ares was the patron god, to help the people in war. Artemis was the patron goddess who was mainly associated with the transformation from childhood to adulthood.

What was the difference in the type of ruling Sparta and Athens?
While Athenians revered politics and public services, and found participating in either an honor, the Spartans were the exact opposite. Spartans would say that the only worthy public service is serving your country is in the military. Spartans left the majority of running the government to ephors. Men to old or to maimed to be of any help in the military, men that had a son killed were also included in this group (if they couldn't lie their way out of it). This difference can all be seen in one defining fact; Spartans not only let their helots participate in the government but gave them a level of power that the Athenians usually left for only some of the more respected citizens of Athens. Also should be mentioned the word laconic directly applies to the spartan way of public speaking, something they detested.
