Most people in ancient Greece who were slaves worked in the fields, plowing<span> and planting seeds and harvesting </span>wheat<span> and barley and </span>olives<span>. Some slaves worked for small farms, maybe just one or two slaves working alongside their boss. Other slaves worked on huge farms with hundreds of other slaves, and never saw their owner. These people who worked in the fields as slaves were almost all men. Many other slaves - also mostly men - worked on </span>fishing boats<span>, or were </span>pearl-divers<span> - a dangerous and difficult job. Hope this helps! ~Mistermistyeyed.</span>
<span>In Ancient Athens there are private
slave and public slaves. public slaves were government owned. children
start as slaves at a young age. If they are young, attractive, healthy,
and submissive their parents would sell them for $180.00. kidnapping
was another way for slavery. </span>
