Actually Ancient Greeks had two terms.
Doulos = = intenured servant
Andrapodo = literally "walking thing" non entity
In Arcahic period a Greek would be hypodoulos = under force obligation to serve or work. The only case of andrapoda is for Kirreans after the Holy War.
But they were punished for sacriledge.
Usually andrapoda made the non-Greeks (i.e. Persian Prisoners)
Eksandrapodismos appears very much after the Pelopenessian War where political grudges and brutalization from a long struggle affected the people.
Cretans seem to had a public owned serf class from the Dorean invasion round 1100 and Hellenistic Era. Usually ex-Achaic-minoic people who didn´t migrate to Cyprus (Eteocretes) were the serf class.
Kind regards
