Source A: Daily Life in Athens

'In Athens, men participated actively in politics, philosophy, and arts. They enjoyed leisure activities such as attending theater and discussing ideas. Women had limited rights and mostly stayed at home, managing domestic chores and overseeing the household.'

Source B: Daily Life in Sparta

'Spartan society focused on military training and discipline. Women had more freedom than in Athens and could own land, but their main role was to produce healthy children for the army. Men spent most of their lives in training and warfare, with little focus on arts or philosophy.'**
