Best Answer

Slaves were the property of their owners, had no rights and could be dealt with as their master pleased. Some were domestic, some farming, some working in the silver mines. Consequently some were treated well, those in the mines had short bitter lives. Female slaves were sexual property. Out of a population of Athens of about 250,000, about 70,000 were slaves.
