A Military Comparison
Between the years of 500 B.C. and 350 B.C., the nation known today as Greece was merely a collection of unallied city-states. The two most powerful and best-known of those city-states were Athens and Sparta. These two rivals were at the forefront of pretty much everything that happened in Greece and the surrounding regions. Even though both held similar stature, however, the two city-states were extremely different from each other in terms of military tactics, societal goals, and cultural accomplishments. Many people often make the unfounded assumption that just because both city-states were located within Greece, that both peoples were the same. I used to think the same way. This web page, part of the second project in my CGS3066 class, is intended to show you just how different these two city-states really were. The menu bar at the left is your starting point. Feel free to click on it and take a look at the research I've done into the military histories of each city-state. I'm sure you'll find it as interesting as I did! |
