Arrian on Indian people
← Back to Arrian Profile
“No Indian ever went outside his own country on a warlike expedition, so righteous were they.”
“This also is remarkable in India, that all Indians are free, and no Indian at all is a slave. In this the Indians agree with the Lacedaemonians. Yet the Lacedaemonians have Helots for slaves, who perform the duties of slaves; but the Indians have no slaves at all, much less is any Indian a slave.”
