• When the Messenian helots (serfs) revolt against their Spartan masters following the severe earthquake, King Archidamus II organises the defence of Sparta.
• In the process, he broke Spartan military power with his victory at Leuctra and liberated the Messenian helots, a group of Peloponnesian Greeks who had been enslaved under Spartan rule for some 230 years following their defeat in the Third Messenian War ending in 600 BC.
• While the helots and the perioeci were the workforce in agriculture and industry, the Spartans could devote themselves to training, maintaining, and operating the military.
• For example, Critias described helots as "slaves to the utmost", whereas according to Pollux, they occupied a status "between free men and slaves".
• The kryptai either principally sought out and killed helots across Laconia and Messenia as part of a policy of terrorising and intimidating the enslaved population, or they principally did a form of military training, or they principally endured hardships as an initiation ordeal, or the Crypteia served a combination of all these purposes, possibly varying over time.

• This last number seems unrealistic, but he could just be mentioning the Spartiates that died in the battle, since the Spartiates themselves only made up a fraction of the Spartan army (the bulk being Perioikoi, armed helots and allies).
