Athens and Sparta: A Tale of Two City-States

Reflection:
In my opinion, I would rather live in Athens because of their strong government. Also, I would want to live in Athens because go their lifestyle and culture values. Even though I would want to live in Athens, the only thing I would change is their tole given to the women in Athens. In Athens' society the women stayed home and had no rights. Except for the fact that women did not have many rights, overall Athens would be a better place to live.
