  i wouldn’t consider being made into a slave adopting my values. But then again in history u can only judge a culture or a person by times they existed in.

    Slavery in Ancient Greece and Rome wasn’t always slavery in the modern ‘Atlantic slave trade’ sense we have now. For instance a Greek may actually wish to become the slave of a wealthy Roman household in order to gain Roman citizenship when they were bought back off that household.
