The Athenian lifestyle and character were as different and opposite as one could imagine from the customs and character of the Spartans. The Athenians were lively, talkative, imaginative, always looking for something new: the Spartans were taciturn, traditionalist, lacking in artistic spirit. Education in Athens was completely different from the rigid and militaristic one of Sparta. The State left the delicate task of educating their children to the family: up to the age of 16, they received a private education based on dance, music, arts and literature. Furthermore, sports exercises were very carefully planned. At 18, the young Athenian became an ephebe and for two years received efficient military education from the State.
