"The History of the Manners and Customs of Ancient Greece, Volume 3" by J. A. St. John is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume delves into the complex social structure of ancient Greece, with particular emphasis on the institution of slavery and its variations across different city-states. The book examines the origins, conditions, and societal implications of slavery, making it a significant resource for understanding the cultural and historical contexts of ancient Greek society. The opening of this volume introduces the topic of slavery, detailing its prevalence in ancient Greece and the various attitudes toward enslaved individuals across different city-states like Sparta and Athens. It reflects on the ambiguities of historical perspectives on slavery as societal norms, suggesting that while some saw it as a necessary institution, others recognized its injustices. The text illustrates the treatment of slaves, the role of slave labor within domestic and public spheres, and the legal rights afforded to them in certain areas, setting the foundation for deeper discussions in the ensuing chapters.
