Plato once defined a slave as the person who executes the purposes of
another. A person is also a slave who is enslaved to his own blind
desires. 

   “Who knows not Circe,
    The daughter of the Sun, whose charmëd cup
    Whoever tasted lost his upright shape,
    And downward fell into a grovelling swine?”
    Milton: Comus, 50- 53.
