The slave is considered chattel - property - to be bought and sold in perpetuity like livestock. Once an individual becomes a chattel slave they are considered chattel for life. Not all forms of forced labor doom a person to slavery until the day they die. Many of them are only for a fixed period of time or until a fixed debt has been redeemed.

Children born to chattel slaves are considered the property of the "owner" of the chattel slave just like a calf is the property of the owner of the cow. No other form of forced labor passes that status/lifetime-obligation down to the children.

No, it is a subset of slavery. Chattel slavery is where there is outright ownership of the human being, with him being bought, sold and traded.

The larger term slavery refers to the variety of ways in which one person is forced to give up labor and time against his will, or be unable to leave.

Such as "debt slavery", or the sex slaves. By the broadest of definitions, draftees in a military, prisoners forced to hard labor, and citizens taxed against their will count.

What was the problem with slaves in ancient Greece?

Slavery was common practice throughout ancient Greek history, as in other societies of the time. It is estimated that the majority of Atheniancitizens owned at least one slave; most ancient writers considered slavery not only natural but necessary. This paradigm was notably questioned in Socratic dialogues; the Stoics produced the first recorded condemnation of slavery.[2] Modern historiographical practice distinguishes chattel (personal possession) slavery from land-bonded groups such as the penestae ofThessaly or the Spartan helots, who were more like medieval serfs (an enhancement to real estate). The chattel slave is an individual deprived of liberty and forced to submit to an owner who may buy, sell, or lease them like any other chattel. The academic study of slavery in ancient Greece is beset by significant methodological problems. Documentation is disjointed and very fragmented, focusing primarily on Athens. No treatises are specifically devoted to the subject - jurisprudence was interested in slavery only inasmuch as it provided a source of revenue. Comedies and tragedies represented stereotypes, while iconography made no substantial differentiation between slaves and craftsmen
