Yes, in ancient Greece, a helot was a type of enslaved person who served the Spartan citizens. Helots were required to work the land and provide a portion of their crops to the Spartan rulers.
A Spartan slave was called a helot. Helots were state-owned serfs required to work the land for their Spartan masters.
A slave owner may want a slave who had lost hope because they would be less likely to resist or attempt to escape. A slave who has lost hope may also be easier to control and manipulate, making them more compliant and submissive. Additionally, a slave with no hope may be seen as less of a threat to the slave owner's authority and power.
If I was a slave owner I would give the slave respect and I wouldn't make them do work I would treat them like a regular person.
The concept of an "ideal slave" is unethical and not acceptable. Slavery in any form is a violation of human rights and dignity. All individuals should be treated with respect and as equals, free from exploitation or oppression.
Probably not all that different to how I feel now. I consider myself a slave; I always have done. I am in a consentual Master/slave relationship (a totally different thing to legal slavery).
