So like, did the helots know when the Spartans declared war on them, or that they were particularly targeting leading specimens? Did they try to make themselves look humble around hunting-time or anything?

reminds me of story (don\u2019t know truth value) of giving insulting nickname to children in Balkans to avoid janissary recruitment, e.g. nickname translates to \u2018lame-legged\u2019
