If you were a slave back in ancient Greece, you would prefer to be a slave in Athens.

A Spartan slave would constantly be afraid for his life. Every year, the Spartans declared war on their slaves and they even had a 'special-ops' group called the Krypteia who were allowed to kill any slave they believed was plotting against the city. The killing of slaves was openly accepted in Sparta.
