Next he considers the theories by which the Greeks justified the enslavement of particular peoples, and points out the absence of slavery in some Greek conceptions of utopia. He also discusses such topics as the condition of slaves in the various poleis, the role played by slaves in political life and in civic defense, the rarity of genuine slave revolts, and the means by which slaves and Helots sometimes reached accommodation with their masters. ; 0.75 x 9.25 x 6.25 Inches; 310 pages
