It is hard to generalize the feelings of an entire group, but I suppose within the group there were those who hoped for a better life if freed. Then there were those who would rather just keep their current masters rather than get new ones that may treat them worse.

Another View:

Sparta had serfs (helots) to till the land - subject people who were free but bound to the land. Each Spartan warrior took seven helots each with him on campaign, to act as servants and as light infantry and archers. The 300 Spartans armoured infantry at Thermopylae had over 2,000 light infantry who died with them. At Plataia the 7,ooo Spartans had 35,000 helot light infantry. They were an integral part of the Spartan war machine, as well as the providers of food to Sparta at home.

In one sense it was a great break to go on campaign, with the hope that some might be freed from serfdom for an outstanding performance. In another sense it meant leaving their land an hoping they would be back in time to plant/harvest the crops.

How did the persians feel about kingship?

The Persians held a profound reverence for kingship, viewing their rulers, particularly the Great Kings, as divinely ordained figures embodying both authority and justice. They believed that kings were responsible for maintaining order, prosperity, and the favor of the gods, which reinforced the importance of their leadership. The concept of "King of Kings" highlighted the idea of a supreme ruler overseeing a vast, diverse empire, emphasizing both the unity and the hierarchy within Persian society. This belief in the sanctity of kingship contributed to the stability and longevity of the Persian Empire.

Were the Persians Asian?

The Middle East is part of the continent of Asia, so - technically speaking - yes. Persians are very proud of their long and heroic past and of a highly developed culture that goes back to the times of Babylon and the ancient Greeks. In those terms they often feel more closely connected to the ancient Hellenistic culture than to the Arab culture. And of course they would never feel "Asian" in the 'Far East' sense of the word.

Can cats be half Russian blue half tabby?

Before I answer, I feel it necessary to point out that a Tortoiseshell is not a breed, only a color variation. But about the Persian thing, the only cats I know that came from the Persian are Himalayans, and the Exotics. Breeding a Persian and a Domestic Shorthair (moggy) whom has no pedigree would result in mixed-breed moggy kittens.
