People

• The Greeks divided everything into two halves,
  because every thing had halves they had wars. So
  they fought all the time. They even divided the
  People from the Animals because the Animals ate
  raw food and People ate cooked food. They divided
  the Gods from the People because people died and
  Gods didn't. People ate and Gods did not.

  different. It was different because Boys went to
  school and Girls didn't .So the Girls just stayed
  at home with their families or learnt at home. In
  Sparta reading and writing was unimportant. Boys
  learned to be good fighters.
