They were treated differently in different city-states, such as Sparta (Which is where I am from) called them hoplites and didn't really care about their slaves, they were usually prisoners of war, they treated them harshly and were beaten on occasion when they did something bad or wrong, and they were at the bottom of the hierarchy. Athens treated slaves more respectfully but they were still at the bottom of the hierarchy.


Would you rather have lived in Athens or Sparta?

This depends entirely on who you are - women were far better off in Sparta as opposed to Athenian women who were housekeepers and child-rearers; Sparta had serfs who were mostly free on their own farms, Athens had slaves; Spartan citizens lived for military service, supported by the serfs, Athenian citizens had to work at a job and also do military service. Take your pick.
