Don't Enslave Me, Bro

The Helen of Theadectus says: "Who would presume to call me servant, who am on both sides sprung from the stem of the Gods?"

~Aristotle, 384-322 BC


Religion has always been an element of man. In the case of the Greeks, it was used to justify slavery. This was centuries prior to Jesus (BC), about whom, apparently, all history must be centered. BC and AD are landmarks for him, and yet he is used as just another tool of religion.
