Cruel Treatment of Helots in Sparta (litho)

Image description: Cruel Treatment of Helots in Sparta. The Helots, who were descended from the original inhabitants of the land whom the Dorians had conquered, formed the great slave classes in Sparta. Although possibly the most useful members of the community, they were treated with great cruelty by their masters, who were allowed by law to flog, torture, or murder them out of mere caprice or sport. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
