​Ancient Greece life was way different from our life today. Men were expected to take an active part in the public life of their city. Women were responsible to lead a private life as wives and mothers. They spent their time managing the house. Families who had a good amount of money,always had slaves,to carry out the household chores,to go to the market, and then they raise the children. Life was much different in Sparta because here women had more active lives. This improved their physical strength and their ability to have healthy babies. They also have slaves but they belong to the city all together instead of just one family. When the men weren't training for the military, or discussing politics with his friends and workers he was at the threatre for entertainment. They went to watch dramas. They could actually relate to the scenes including tragedies and comedies. Women were not allowed to go to the threatre or perform at the threatre, so the male actors played the women parts.
