  2. In ancient Greece, the great rival of Athens was Sparta. The city-state of its surrounding territory were located on the Peloponnesus, a peninsula southwest of Athens. Sparta (also called Lacedaemon) was the capital of the district of Laconia • From the vigorous iron-hearted warriors of this city-state has come to the adjective Spartan. Sparta prided itself not on art, learning, or splendid buildings, but on its valiant men who "served their city in the place of walls of bricks." Athens, with its beautiful temples and statues, its poetry and philosophy, dominated the intellectual life of the world.
