According to the Greek philosopher, Aristotle, slaves were considered to be the lowest social class in ancient times.

Explanation:

In the greek society, the existence of slaves was not frowned upon rather it was seen as a necessity. The slavery system was a part of the city life. They were acquired through war; they could be kidnapped and purchased. Aristotle believed that slaves were the inferior class of the society and a "product of their environment and inherited characteristics". The Greeks believed that it was best to keep the slaves in their place as they (Greeks) have the best environment and characteristics and the purest bloodline hence they were born to rule.
