As someone who studied the matter I can tell you first hand the Helots DID NOT view themselves as slaves nor did the Spartans view them as such. The Helots were well aware of slavery in Greece. The slave markets were everywhere in Greece. The Helots knew they were oppressed but they never viewed themselves as slaves. All forms of opression are not slavery.

You're just being a Spartan enabler. If we take those Helots out away from their guards (along with their families) to someplace like Athens, they are goin go tell quite a different story and you know it.
