In ancient Athens, slaves performed a variety of tasks, primarily in households as domestic servants, cooks, and caregivers. They also worked in agriculture, tending to fields and livestock, and in various trades such as pottery, metalworking, and textile production. Additionally, some slaves were employed in public works and construction projects, contributing significantly to the city's economy and infrastructure. Their labor was essential to the functioning of Athenian society, allowing free citizens to engage in political and intellectual pursuits.
That's why they had slaves. For example, nearly a third of Athens' population were slaves.

An Athenian meant a citizen of Athens. To be a citizen you had to be of Athenean ancestry. Athenians didn't work. Being a citizen meant you shared in the profit of the silver mines. The work was done by slaves and their major job was working the crops.
