Not as such. Plato's "The Laws" contains a rather interesting
logical path that indicates the slavery is "good for the slave,"
and given the beliefs at the time, makes perfect sense.
The Greek idea of "Freedom" is way different from the modern
idea; American "Freedom" doesn't exist in lands ruled by kings.
