Athens and Sparta were two important Greek city-states. However, these city-states were very different. Which city would you rather call home? A travel company is looking to create a brochure about ancient Athens or Sparta and it needs your help. You must create a travel brochure for the city you call home. You must describe what makes the city such a great place, what tourists should do on their trip, and how they can be prepared for visiting the city. Step 1: Choose Your Home City

Athens
Sparta
Step 2: Create Your Travel Brochure
Your travel brochure must:

Write a paragraph to describe the government you live under
Write a paragraph to describe the advantages of the geography of your city
Write a paragraph to describe the role of women in your society
Write a paragraph to describe what education is like in your city-state
Write a paragraph to describe your city-state's role in the Peloponnesian War and the Persian Wars
Include three images or drawings that show aspects of the city’s government, geography, women's role in society, education or war. Include a caption for each picture.
Write a paragraph to explain why your city-state is better than any other city-state.

I think it would be best if you researched the cities and picked one that interests you.

The paragraphs, however, needs to be done by you. The only thing I can do is advise you to do some research.

Sparta as a Home City.

Given its military pre-eminence, Sparta was recognized as the leading force of the unified Greek military during the Greco-Persian Wars, in rivalry with the rising naval power of Athens. Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War (between 431 and 404 BCE),from which it emerged victorious. The decisive Battle of Leuctra in 371 BCE ended the Spartan hegemony, although the city-state maintained its political independence until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BCE. After the division of the Roman Empire, Sparta underwent a long period of decline, especially in the Middle Ages, when many of its citizens moved to Mystras. Modern Sparta is the capital of the southern Greek region of Laconia and a center for processing citrus and olives.

Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its social system and constitution, which were supposedly introduced by the semi-mythical legislator Lycurgus. His laws configured the Spartan society to maximize military proficiency at all costs, focusing all social institutions on military training and physical development. The inhabitants of Sparta were stratified as Spartiates (citizens with full rights), mothakes (free non-Spartiate people descended from Spartans), perioikoi (free non-Spartiates), and helots (state-owned enslaved non-Spartan locals). Spartiate men (and some mothakes and perioikoi[citation needed]) underwent the rigorous agoge training regimen, and Spartan phalanx brigades were widely considered to be among the best in battle. Spartan women also enjoyed considerably more rights and equality with men than elsewhere in classical antiquities.

Sparta was frequently a subject of fascination in its own day, as well as in Western culture following the revival of classical learning. The admiration of Sparta is known as laconophilia. Bertrand Russell wrote:

Sparta had a double effect on Greek thought: through the reality, and through the myth The reality enabled the Spartans to defeat Athens in war; the myth influenced Plato's political theory, and that of countless subsequent writers [The] ideals that it favors had a great part in framing the doctrines of Rousseau, Nietzsche, and National Socialism.

The ancient Greeks used one of three words to refer to the Spartan city-state and its location. First, "Sparta" refers primarily to the main cluster of settlements in the valley of the Eurotas River. The second word, "Lacedaemon" (),was often used as an adjective and is the name referenced in the works of Homer and the historians Herodotus and Thucydides. The third term, "Laconice" , referred to the immediate area around the town of Sparta, the plateau east of the Taygetos mountains,[15] and sometimes to all the regions under direct Spartan control, including Messenia.
