If we take into account that slaves were seen as 'second class' cititzens (who didn't have a vote like women), they would of been used for the menial task in the Greek household like cooking and cleaning for example (and to an extent prostitution). The main purpose of Slaves can be seen in different ways from taskers who do all the menial chores and tasks, they can also be seen as a social status symbol for the owner as more slaves indicate more wealth and power (to an extent).

∙ 12y agoSlaves and women pretty much played the same role. While men were actually declared as citizens (boys over the age of 18 and born in Athens or just free men), women and slaves were not, so that meant that they had fewer rights than free men had. Slaves and women could not vote or attend the Assembly, and most women or slaves could not even choose their own husbands/wives. So, women and slaves were pretty much treated the same way.
