The Helots were the Spartans slaves. If the Spartans treated them well they would have been more likely to successfully rebel.

The main problem in Sparta was that the helots, or slaves would often rebel and invading countries would often arm the helots who outnumbered the Spartans 4 to 1
helots.
Nothing. Spartans looked at war almost like a party. Their only honorable way to die was in combat.
yes he is not afraid to get in a little troble now and then
it was important to ancient Greeks because slaves did most of their work -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Sparta, Slaves known as Helots (which accounted for appx. 90% of the population) maintained the state while the Spartans would train for war. Also, the Helots served as a source of fear to motivate the Spartans to train so that the slaves would not rebel. An interesting side note, about once every year, the Spartans would massacre Helots to remind them of their place.
Spartans would be translated as "Spartes".
Sparta wanted their men in the army because they wanted keep control over the helots. Helots were captured enslaved workers. There was so many helots that the Spartans thought that someday they would rebel. To maintain the control of the helots the Spartans started put their men in the army.
