Ancient Greece is generally recognized as one of only a handful of
“slave societies” in world history, with slavery playing an
important role in all aspects of Greek culture. Unsurprisingly,
then, scholarship on Greek slavery has proliferated in the past
forty or so years, making a holistic synthesis of such work
especially desirable. This book offers a state-of-the-art guide to
research on this subject, surveying recent scholarly trends and
controversies and suggesting future directions for research. Topics
include the representation of slaves in Greek art and literature;
slavery and the economy; slaves and the law; the treatment of
slaves; slavery and sexuality; the manumission of slaves; slave
resistance and revolt; and ancient justifications and criticisms of
slavery. Readers, including those interested in slavery of other
time periods, will find this book an essential resource in learning
about key issues in Greek slavery studies or in pursuing their own
research.
