The Helots were the serfs of ancient Sparta, and their lives were harsh and brutal. They were forced to work long hours in the fields, and they were often beaten and abused by their masters. But the Helots were not always willing to accept their lot in life. In 464 BC, they staged a revolt that nearly brought Sparta to its knees.

The revolt was eventually crushed, but it showed the Spartans that the Helots were not to be taken for granted. In the years that followed, the Spartans began to treat their Helots with more respect, and they gradually gave them more rights. By the end of the 5th century BC, the Helots had become an important part of Spartan society, and they played a vital role in the city's success.

This book tells the story of the Helots, from their humble beginnings as serfs to their eventual rise to freedom. It is a story of struggle, courage, and hope, and it is a reminder that even the most oppressed people can achieve great things.

Reviews

"This book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Greece or the history of slavery. It is a well-written and informative account of the Helots, a group of people who played a vital role in Spartan society. I highly recommend it."

-Victor Davis Hanson, author of A History of Warfare

"This book is a fascinating and important study of the Helots, a group of people who have been largely ignored by historians. It sheds new light on the social and economic history of ancient Sparta, and it challenges the traditional view of the Helots as mere slaves. I highly recommend it."

-Paul Cartledge, author of The Spartans
