Spartan society is a better society than the Athenian Society

Thank you and good debate. I again apologize for the earlier forfeit. I will now present rebuttals and my final statement. Rebut1: "I was merely pointing out that spartan warriors were the best warriors in all the ancient world, which is why the Spartans defeated the Athenians and crippled them. As a result of the Athenian defeat sparta crippled the Athenian navy by burning all but 6 navy vessels. No longer will the Athenians ever be a naval super power. Sparta has prevailed and defeated there long rival athens. Firstly, the Athenian navy did recover, while not to the extent of its previous glory. Secondly, the Spartans only defeated the Athenians after the King of Persia, who was quite angry with Athens, supplied trade routes and naval presence to them. Not to mention that the allies of Athens were revolting in response to the Spartans breaking the Thirty Year Peace. To think that ANY society could of handled all these factors and still kept itself well protected is preposterous. The Spartans were not the military gods my opponent makes them out to be. The Helot Revolution is an infamous example of the hubris of the Spartans. The Helots were the slave class of the Spartan oligarchy, and revolted against their leaders, and would of beaten them if it was not for the string of allies that Sparta had amassed through the fear of an Athenian-controlled Greece. Athens even sent about 4000 Hoplites, a quite large number for them. Rebut2:The reasons they didn't take control over the Athenians is because they were important on trade. That is why they left the trade vessels. This makes no sense. If they were as civilized and intelligent as you claim, (i'm not claiming they were braindead barbarians, as my opponent thinks i have done. I'm just addressing what my opponent said.) they why would they not seize Athens for the trade routes? They could of easily occupied and set up a puppet government in its place. By their history, they were not the most kind of conquerors. This just further shows their incompetence in the conquesting of other city-states Rebut3:One by not conquering them, second was the Persian-Greek war, where after the dearest at thermopoly This was done because they were scared of the Persians invading southern Greece through northern Greece and know that could use the Athenians as a sort of shield for the invading army. This was done when the army was minimal compared to Marathon. This fear is proved at the Battle of Marathon when they refused to help the Athenians in, by your own observation, a battle they could have won. They reasoned this by citing a religious festival that has never been ever recorded before and only rarely after the battle. This shows that they were scared to face them without a strong Athenian force to support them. Rebut4:Spartan society has philosophers too, Lycurgus of sparta was one of the many. Also, the philosophers you named such as Socrates praised spartan law. Another, Platonists, viewed sparta as an ideal state, free from the corruption of money, like the Athenians get handed everything to them on there own silver "Athenian mined" plater. I will admit that they did praise the law. However, the purpose of the philosophy was simply for the militaristic effort, like everything else in the society. The law was made in an idealistic nature. A similar philosophy is that of perfect communism, but as we all know, that is a very difficult system of government due to the fault of humans in general. Spartan society was an ideal state, it had a common religion a well defense that triumphed over Athens. And most importantly, values. I would seriousaly question the "values" of a society that killed the newborns if they were "weak". I believe I have shown that the Athenian society to be superior in just enough qualities to justify it as being better. Thank you for your time in reading this.
