Haiku & History Day Six "Fresh Slave"
Fresh Slave - The Dark Side of Ancient Light [Haiku & History]
A pretty young thing
Last Seen wandering the coast
Father calls her name
Slavery could be a lucrative trade, even for those who do not specialize in it. One could kidnap a pretty girl and sell her for a pretty penny. The Greek classical tradition is filled with abduction scenes, often near the coast. Then again, ancient Greek life was hardly ever far from the sea. Those landlocked Arcadians might disagree.
