Athens and Sparta

Question 8 • GA-GSE World History A

Which statement describes a characteristic of Sparta’s religion?

Answer
A
Sparta did not hold religious festivals.
B
Artemis was the patron goddess of Sparta.
C
Artemis was the urban goddess of Sparta.
D
Sparta worshipped only one god, Artemis.

Explanation

Sparta worshipped many Greek gods and held religious festivals, so A and D are incorrect. Artemis was especially important to the Spartans and is identified as Sparta’s patron goddess. “Urban goddess” is not the characteristic described here, so the correct choice is “Artemis was the patron goddess of Sparta.”
