{"product_id":"slavery-in-classical-greece-n-r-e-fisher-9781853991349","title":"Slavery in Classical Greece","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an authoritative and clearly written account of the main\u003cbr\u003eissues involved in the study of Greek slavery from Homeric times to the\u003cbr\u003efourth century BC. It provides valuable insights into the fundamental\u003cbr\u003eplace of slavery in the economies and social life of classical Greece, \u003cbr\u003eand includes penetrating analyses of the widely-held ancient\u003cbr\u003eideological justifications of slavery. A wide range of topics is\u003cbr\u003ecovered, including the development of slavery from Homer to the\u003cbr\u003eclassical period, the peculiar form of community slaves (the helots)\u003cbr\u003efound in Sparta, economic functions and the treatment of slaves in\u003cbr\u003eAthens, and the evidence for slaves' resistance. Throughout the author\u003cbr\u003eshows how political and economic systems, ideas of national identity, \u003cbr\u003ework and gender, and indeed the fundamental nature of Greek\u003cbr\u003ecivilisation itself, were all profoundly affected by the fact that many\u003cbr\u003eof the Greek city-states were slave societies. With 12 illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e N. R. E.
