The citizens of both city-states were warriors - the Spartans full time, the Athenians full time. The Spartans had serfs to support them, the Athenians had slaves. Both had democracies, the Spartans a limited form, the Athenians moved to a radical form. Both were serious about the gods and religious festivals.
Their differences lay in other areas - women a basic part of social life in Sparta, in Athens they were kept in virtual purdah; the serfs in Sparta were free, the slaves in Athens were chattels.
