Greeks used two terms for "slaves".

Doulos = intenured servant, serf, person forced to do commuity service. Is is legaly a person with minimal rights but no civic rights. Could be trusted to bear arms. Some times could fight a psilos. Argive slaves defending the city walls after Kleonae defeat.
Records of paid slaves survive in the Lavrion silvermines!


Andrapodon = literaly "walking thing" corrsponds exactly to the modern definition of slave. Until the mid Peloponessian War it was not supposed to happen to Greeks but only "barbarians".

After that Romas took over and the distinction ceased.

Kind regards
