the concept is too specific and the setting is narrow, thus most of the hot-takes were taken before the turn of the century. now it's just dull and derivative. sure, you could do some subversive things like sopranos, but unlike more general crime stories you've eventually gotta frame it with the exact same atmosphere as every previous book in the genre (nobility, decay, corruption, innocence, spaghetti)

A young Helot slave escapes death at the hands of a Spartan and flees North to Corinth. There he plies his trade as a fisherman for many years. He marries a free-woman and raises children as a loving father. On his eldest son's 12th birthday, he is killed by a drunk Spartan who claims the boy was a Helot. The former slave strikes down the Spartan, proclaiming he will have vengeance on all of Sparta. His wife denounces him as a Helot and takes their remaining children from him. The former slave is chased from Corinth and once again finds himself with nothing.
He travels back to Messinia, his ancestral home, and ferments rebellion among the Helots. They rise up with him and slaughter their Spartan overseers. In short order Sparta dispatches an army to quell the rebellion. Hopelessly outmatched, the Helots flee. The book ends with the old slave sacrificing himself so the other Helots can escape, allowing a Spartan to execute him, just as he would have been all those years ago.

Well my initial impetus to writing the piece was equal parts ideological commitment to anarchism and love for the absurdity of the concept. During the course of writing it I fell away from anarchism and so the ideological core of the story was removed, the direction was gone and all that was left was the absurdity. Now it almost sounds like it would have been better this way, oh well.
