Slavery in ancient Greece was commonplace. In this book Sara
Forsdyke uncovers the wide range of experiences of slaves and
focuses on their own perspectives, rather than those of their
owners, giving a voice to a group that is often rendered silent by
the historical record. By reading ancient sources 'against the
grain,' and through careful deployment of comparative evidence from
more recent slave-owning societies, she demonstrates that slaves
engaged in a variety of strategies to deal with their conditions of
enslavement, ranging from calculated accommodation to full-scale
rebellion. Along the way, she establishes that slaves made a vital
contribution to almost all aspects of Greek society. Above all,
despite their often brutal treatment, they sometimes displayed
great ingenuity in exploiting the tensions and contradictions
within the system of slavery.
