The social structure of ancient Sparta was highly stratified and primarily divided into three main groups: the Spartiates, the Perioikoi, and the Helots. The Spartiates were the ruling class of full citizens who underwent rigorous military training and were granted political rights. The Perioikoi were free non-citizens who lived in surrounding areas, engaging in trade and crafts, while the Helots were state-owned serfs who worked the land and served the Spartiates, often facing harsh treatment and oppression. This rigid hierarchy reinforced Sparta's militaristic and communal values, prioritizing strength and discipline.

The ancient Greeks lived in Greece. The normal house was a courtyard with rooms around it. Most Greeks lived near the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and in southern Europe. Some citys they lived in are Athens, Sparta, and Crete. They inspired many cultures from their beliefs.
In Sparta, slaves were known as helots and were considered the property of the state. Helots were subjected to harsh treatment, forced labor, and were often mistreated by their Spartan masters. They lived in a state of perpetual servitude and had limited rights and freedoms.
Even counting its helots, Sparta's population did not come anywhere near Athens' quarter million.
helots, fee noncitizens, and citizens how are either soldiers or are training soldiers
The helots were serfs, that is they were bound to the land, and obliged to give a portion of the produce to the owner of the land - to the city of Sparta which had taken over the land. Therefore they lived on their farms and could not leave them.
Basically, since the Spartans and Lacedaemonians (people who lived around Sparta were in constant fear of being attacked by hordes of revolting helots, they changed their life style. They made sure that every farmer and able bodied man was able to take up arms, they developed a higher interest in the wellbeing of the state, and changed themselves into completely militarily oriented killing machines. hi
