Even though Athenian and spartan are both Hellenic cultures, their customs and especially women's behavior and rights were quite different.
Athenian females had the duty to take care of the household, raise the children and perform all kinds of domestic work at home.
Spartan female's primary role was to bear and raise strong children. A spartan woman was expected to have a fit body, a healthy appearance since healthy women were more likely to produce healthy children.
Spartan women had significantly more freedom and rights by law than their Athenian counterparts.
