Document Summary
A very sparse life; live in essentially military barracks. Likewise, there are no private children; auxiliaries and rulers make decisions jointly. This driven by the fear of corruption; only certain people are fit to be rulers/auxiliaries, nobody should be able to inher- ent them (children) It is impossible that they won"t show favouritism over his own child; same with rulers and auxiliary, they raise the kids, they will undoubtedly find ways to show favouritism over their own. Will there be slaves: yes; unspoken fourth class, that"s what they"re suited to, non-greek citizens, orphans; spectrum of different kinds of slaves, many were treated well, depending, uneducated. Justification: not greek/could tell from an early age they weren"t suitable. Myth of the medals doesn"t have a place for slaves. There are conflicts within the individual, reveal that there are different parts within the individual: exercising self control and denial are two different things. Appetite: desire for physical goods (food/drink/shelter/sex/money/property), material gain.
