How did geography influence Sparta and Athens?

I have to write an essay about how the geography of greece influenced Sparta and Athens. I already wrote about how Athens wanted more land in Greece, and how Sparta was a better army on land than in sea. What else is there?

Answer #1

Sparta was surrounded by easily defended passes and had fertile soil, hence the Spartans could rise to a powerful military in the region. Athens soil was junk, hence she had to look to the sea and had one of the best navies of the time.

Answer #2

Sounds like you have a pretty good start on it already…I suggest continued research at the library or online.

Answer #3

I also wrote about how Sparta used the Narrow geography to help them durring the persian war in Thermopylae. Are there any other wars were the Goegraphy of greece influnced?
