What were the main differences between Roman patricians and plebeians? What were the Greek versions of patricians and plebeians?

The main differences of the plebeians and the patricians was that the plebeians were the farmers, craftsmen, laborers and soldiers of Rome. They didn't have many rights while the patricians were the people who made the laws and owned the land. Overall, plebeians had some rights and the patricians had many rights. The greek versions of patricians were the aristocrats who worked most of their time, and the greek version of the plebeians was the middle-class who could vote and had more freedom.
