What were some ways that athens and sparta were alike?

Athens and Sparta are alike because both had slaves and women could not take part in government. They both believed in same Gods, both attended ancient Olympics, both fought in the Persian War, had colonies and both had allies throughout Greece. 

Good luck :)
