In 460 BC, the helots, who were the subjugated population of Sparta, nearly succeeded in a major uprising against their Spartan overlords. This revolt, known as the Helot Revolt, was fueled by discontent and the desire for freedom, particularly during a time when Sparta was preoccupied with external conflicts, including the ongoing wars with Athens. The revolt posed a significant threat to Spartan stability, but ultimately, the Spartans managed to suppress the uprising, maintaining their control over the helots.
