Explanation:

In Ancient Greece, women were not considered full citizens. Instead, they were considered to be dependents of their fathers and afterwards of their husbands. However, while women in Athens were severely restricted, women in Sparta enjoyed significant freedom. Sparta was an oligarchy, and it was a warrior city. Therefore, they had a stereotype of being disciplined and frugal, which is the connotation of the word "spartan" in English. On the other hand, Athens was a democracy and well-known for its scholars. Finally, the Persian Wars started because Persia attacked Sparta to avenge earlier defeats.
