Did the ancient Spartans kill their slaves?
Spartan soldiers, while in training had to learn how to successfully stalk and ambush an enemy. This was done by sneaking up on and attacking field slaves called Helots. Since Spartans trained for real situations, the art of the ambush was completed with the death of the unlucky Helot tending fields. (Changed Hoplite to Helot in the above paragraph. Helots were Spartan slaves, the Hoplites were a Greek military unit). However, as a historian, I can assure you there is a GREAT deal of debate about what the goals of this process, called the Krypteia, were. Some insist the Krypteia was the final test for all Spartan soldiers where they learned stealth and killing. Others say the Krypteia were a secret police force, chosen from only the best Spartan soldiers, who patrolled their society (particularly that of Helot slaves) looking for signs of rebellion or sedition and killing anyone the Krypteia suspected of fomenting it. Ultimately, the Krypteia could be any of these: -A rite of passage into manhood -An elite special forces unit whose final training was to stalk and kill a man -A secret police force -A final test in the Spartan military school, the Agoge. It is almost impossible to know for certain.
