Is sparse living accommodations a characteristic of Athens, Sparta, or both?

Athens

Sparta

Athens and Sparta

Answer: B - Sparta

Explanation:

Houses in the life of the ancient Greeks never occupied a special place. The house was primarily a place where the Greeks slept, so in that context, not much was invested in the luxury.

The Greeks spent most of their time outside, in the markets, at farms, so they returned home in the evening to sleep. The private dwellings of the ancient Greeks were very modest.
