How did slaves in Ancient Greece differ from models of slavery in later societies?
Answer- Slavery was not connected with race in the ancient world. People were slaves because their side lost a recent war or as punishment for a crime (something still theoretically allowed in the US). They were not necessarily of a different race to the slave owners.
People didn’t necessarily see slaves as inferior. Slaves were sometimes employed as secretaries and tutors and it was prestigious to own an intelligent, educated, slave.
I used to have a teacher who said this as well. The best way to understand would be to show examples of how to specify such terms as “stuff” and “things”. For instance: “The birds have lots of stuff.” That was not clear because the reader does not know what the “stuff” is. Instead, the text could be changed to: “The birds have lots of feathers.” Now the reader knows what the stuff is because it has been replaced with a more specific word. If you go over multiple examples in your head, it will become easier to comprehend and you will get used to doing it.
