How did Athens treat their slaves?

Answer 1

Athenian slave were commonly captured from other City-States, or unwanted children. When women in Athens had a baby, she would present it to her husband- If he rejects the child (because of disabilities, size, or gender) then it would be placed either at a selected community place where it would be left to die, adopted, or taken in as a slave.

Answer 2

How Athens treated their slaves:

If a slave was sent into a factory, they would work long hours on meager rations. If a slave was sent into somewhere like a kennel, their only respite would be on a great holiday. As well as that, they had to work in constant association with free workmen, as the slave is treated with a moderate amount of consideration and good camaraderie.

The slaves were not allowed to marry one, as for no living in the normal conditions of a family life.

In every household, there would be at least one slave, if not more working for the masters. The jobs in the house required a steward, a butler - who was in charge of the storeroom / cellar, a marketing slave, a porter, a baker, a cook, a nurse and maids if needed.

If a slave was bought, it would get given a name by a citizen as an insult, as the names would usually be: Geta; Manes; Dromon, Sosias, Xanthias, Pyrrhias
