They were probably the original inhabitants of Sparta, who were enslaved by the Dorian conquerors of that territory. The helots had virtually no civil or political rights. They were entirely the property of the state, which assigned them to work on the land of individual Spartans. The helots were required to provide a certain fixed amount of produce for their masters each year. The helots could be freed or sold only by the state. In wartime they were used as soldiers or as oarsmen in the galleys of ships.
