In the most recent Historia Civilis video ( https://youtu.be/ppGCbh8ggUs ), he mentions that the Spartans maintained a state of perpetual war against their Helot slaves (ceremonially redeclared every new year). The Spartans used this state of war to justify all sort of "chilling" atrocities against the Helots.

What are some examples of these atrocities? How do they compare to the treatment of slaves outside of Sparta?
