👉 The term "perses" is a play on words that originated in ancient Greece and refers to an individual who has been enslaved, often by a powerful person. It was used as a metaphor for a person or group of people who are under the control or influence of someone else, especially one who is physically or morally superior to them. Perses were often depicted in Greek mythology as being slaves or servants of other individuals, and they played an important role in many plays and operas.
