The Helots fulfilled all the functions that slaves carried out elsewhere in the Greek world, allowing their masters the leisure to be full-time warriors. Yet, despite their crucial role, Helots remain essentially invisible in our ancient sources and peripheral and enigmatic in modern scholarship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is devoted to a much-needed reassessment of Helotry and of its place in the history and sociology of unfree labor. The essays deal with the origins and historical development of Helotry, with its sociological, economic, and demographic aspects, with its ideological construction and negotiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nino Luraghi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674012232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674012233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.30w x 0.78d","brand":"Nino Luraghi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920451993855,"sku":"9780674012233","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_78c8ca52-93b3-4103-a1f4-a6640a6fbf08.jpg?v=1680815441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/helots-and-their-masters-in-nino-luraghi-9780674012233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
