Slaves, Warfare, and Ideology in the Greek Historians Hardcover - 1998

by Peter Hunt


From the publisher

The warring Greek city-states of the classical period often found it advantageous to use slaves in their armed forces and to encourage rebellion or desertion among the slaves of their enemies. But since military service was highly esteemed, while the state of slavery was despised, classical Greek historians such as Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon tended not to discuss slave participation in war. This book examines the actual role of slaves in war, the neglect of it by historians, and the reasons for this reticence.

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… Read More
