Almost all organized societies have had institutionalized slavery at some point in their history. Europeans held other europeans as slaves long before ancient Greek civilization. It was the norm in every area of Europe. Slavery was found throughour Africa since ancient times, and there are still African slaves owned by other Africans today. Slavery was institutionalized in most parts of Asia until fairly recently. Slavery existed in pre-Colombian North and South America. It was universal, and still exists in a few places now. It is a grave and sometimes self-serving myth to portray slavery as a particularly European phenomenon. For the record, I am not descended from europeans, but my ancestors were both slaves and slave owners. This is true of the vast majority of the human race.

Slavery has occurred for a long time throughout history, and all sorts of groups have been enslaved. The majority of slaves don't necessarily originate from any single location. But the term slave did come from Vikings capturing and selling of Slavic peoples back around the 500's, (notice that slavery did occur prior to that). Since that time, slavery has occurred all over the globe within all sorts of cultures, so a geographical location from which slaves most come from doesn't exist. If you want to be fancy about it... most slaves come from "oppression".
