Why Being a Spartan Helot Was a Nightmare | History For Sleep

You’re a Helot — a state-owned slave at the bottom of one of the most brutal societies in history. No armor. No rights. No future. From birth to death, your life is labor, punishment, and erasure. You carry their food, raise their children, clean their temples, and die in their wars — all while being told you're lucky not to be dead already.This isn’t a story about warriors. It’s a story about the people they stood on.So lie back. Get comfortable. And let yourself be slowly crushed by the quiet horror of what it meant to serve the glory of Sparta without ever being allowed to share in it.#DarkHistory #Sparta #AncientHistory #Helots #BrutalHistory #SleepStory #HistoricalNarration #DrowsyHistorian #FallAsleepToHistory
