Did Athens or Sparta have a military state?

Sparta had a military state, characterized by its rigorous training and discipline of citizens, who were primarily focused on becoming skilled warriors. The society was organized around the needs of the military, with education (the agoge) emphasizing physical fitness and combat readiness. In contrast, Athens was known for its emphasis on democracy, culture, and education, although it did maintain a strong navy and military presence. Thus, while both city-states valued military strength, Sparta was distinctly a military state.
