Hi,

Here are the examples that get through my head at 3 in the morning:

1) Agammenon/Achillius struggle over a slave that starts the Iliade.

2) The slaves in the Athens silver mines.

3) Slaves as pray for young Spartan soldiers.

4) Citizen becoming slaves during the Peloponese War.

5) The young slave Socrates asks a question too to prove him too is a
man in Plato's Memno

6) Aristot's try to consider slavery as normal.

That is all for now
Bye
