Slaves in the Athens
Most families in Greece owned a slave. In fact, most homes needed a slave or things wouldn't really work out. traveling on ships or during the war, armies and pirates would capture people they came across. Those people where then enslaved. The Greeks didn't like having another Greek for a slave, so most of the slaves were foreigners. Also, some of the slaves were children! Slaves would help on the farm, served food, took care of children, and mined. Slaves that would work for families were treated like a family member. Slaves that worked in the mines, were not treated well. The slaves that worked for a family lived much longer then the ones who worked in the mines. What do you think about slavery in Greece?

The slaves that worked in a mine I feel bad for mostly because that the family slaves that help with the children were treated so good and not so much for the slaves in mines and the slaves that worked in the mines didn't live that long its really cruel if you think about it.
