The term "helot" historically refers to a class of serfs in ancient Sparta who were bound to the land and primarily worked for the Spartan citizens. They were often subjected to harsh treatment and had limited rights, existing in a state of subjugation. The word has since come to symbolize any oppressed or subjugated group, highlighting themes of servitude and inequality in various contexts.
