Yes, Sparta had slaves, known as helots. The helots were a subjugated population primarily made up of people from conquered regions like Messenia and Laconia. Unlike typical slaves in other societies, helots were not individually owned but were considered property of the Spartan state. They worked the land and produced food, which supported the Spartan citizens (the Spartiates), allowing them to focus on military training and governance. The relationship between Spartans and helots was complex and often harsh. Helots were frequently oppressed and humiliated to keep them subservient, and Spartans would sometimes engage in rituals and even organized killings to instill fear and prevent rebellion. Despite their low status, helots were crucial to Sparta's economy and society, enabling the city-state to maintain its intense military culture.
