Includes bibliography and index. xiv, 246 pp.Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This book challenges conventional opinion byarguing that slaves and Helots played an important part in classical Greek warfare. Althoughrival city-states often used these classes in theirown forces or tried to incite their enemies' slavesto rebellion or desertion, such recruitment wasideologically awkward: slaves or Helots, despisedand oppressed classes, should have had no part in the military service so closely linked with citizen-ship, with rule, and even with an individual'sbasic worth. Consequently, their participationhas tended to drop out of the historical record.Focusing on Herodotus, Thucydides, andXenophon, this study attempts to demonstratethe actual role played by slaves and Helots inwarfare, the systematic neglect of the subject bythese historians, and the ideologies motivatingthis reticence. Because of the pervasive influenceof both war and slavery, these investigations of anostensibly marginal practice illuminate severalcentral issues in Greek society and culture. 1998.
