History of slavery in ancient Greece

The book of the famous French historian and the no less famous politician Henry Alexander Vallon is a capacious and at the same time compact story about slavery in ancient Greece. Who and why fell into the number of slaves? How many of them were there? How was their work used and why was it customary to rent their slaves for rent? How did home slaves differ from state? How much did the slaves cost and how was they trade? What laws regulated by their existence by the state? What was allowed to slaves and what was categorically prohibited? How could slaves get will and why, even having bought out, many remained to serve the former master? What did the great Greek philosophers say about slavery and how did they treat their own slaves? These are far from all the questions that Vallon answers, simultaneously telling about life, morals and muffins of free citizens of ancient Greece, whose well -being was based on slave work.
