It provides valuable insights into the fundamental<br>place of slavery in the economies and social life of classical Greece, <br>and includes penetrating analyses of the widely-held ancient<br>ideological justifications of slavery. A wide range of topics is<br>covered, including the development of slavery from Homer to the<br>classical period, the peculiar form of community slaves (the helots)<br>found in Sparta, economic functions and the treatment of slaves in<br>Athens, and the evidence for slaves' resistance. Throughout the author<br>shows how political and economic systems, ideas of national identity, <br>work and gender, and indeed the fundamental nature of Greek<br>civilisation itself, were all profoundly affected by the fact that many<br>of the Greek city-states were slave societies. With 12 illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Professor Nick Fisher is Professor Emeritus of Ancient History at Cardiff University.</p>
