Synopsis
This is an authoritative and clearly written account of the main issues involved in the study of Greek slavery from Homeric times to the fourth century BC. It provides valuable insights into the fundamental place of slavery in the economies and social life of classical Greece, and includes penetrating analyses of the widely-held ancient ideological justifications of slavery. A wide range of topics is covered, including the development of slavery from Homer to the classical period, the peculiar form of community slaves (the helots) found in Sparta, economic functions and the treatment of slaves in Athens, and the evidence for slaves' resistance. Throughout the author shows how political and economic systems, ideas of national identity, work and gender, and indeed the fundamental nature of Greek civilisation itself, were all profoundly affected by the fact that many of the Greek city-states were slave societies. With 12 illustrations., This is an authoritative and clearly written account of the main issues involved in the study of Greek slavery from Homeric times to the fourth century BC, providing valuable insights into the fundamental place of slavery in the economies and social life of classical Greece.

    The bowl is a replacement for the original that I purchased years ago. It was a nice surprize to see it again in pristine condition and I've already used it twice. The packaging was excellent as was the price. The item was shipped promptly and arrived in a timely manner.
