Athens built it's city-state on intellectualism. They valued education and philosophy above all else. They did have a strong military and all males had to attend two years of military school once they turned 18 years old. Sparta was a military city-states. Spartan boys were sent to military school at the age of 7, and spent years enduring harsh training and conditions.
