Spartans acquired a large number of slaves, known as helots, primarily through military conquest. When they conquered the neighboring region of Messenia in the 8th century BCE, they subjugated the local population, turning them into helots who worked the land and served the Spartan citizens. Additionally, the Spartans maintained control over the helots through a system of terror and oppression, ensuring they remained subservient and unable to revolt. This reliance on helots was crucial for maintaining the Spartan economy and military readiness, as it allowed Spartan citizens to focus on warfare and governance.
