How important were the slaves and metics to Athenian democracy?
What will be an ideal response?
The limited Athenian democracy was based on its citizens; ability to have others do its manual work. To the Athenian citizen, work was something to be avoided which freed them for their chief occupation of gathering in the agora to exercise their political duties. Almost every citizen had at least one slave attendant and a female domestic servant. A metic was a free man who was not a citizen because he came from some other polis in Greece or from a Greek colony.
