"Galley slave" is a term used to refer to prisoners condemned (in an obsolete form of punishment) to man the oars of a galley. Galley Slave is a science fiction short story by Isaac Asimov, originally published in the December 1957 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction and reprinted in the collections The Rest of the Robots (1964), The Complete Robot (1982), and Robot Visions (1990). Asimov identified it as his favorite among those of his robot stories featuring the character of Susan Calvin.

For the Isaac Asimov short story, see Galley Slave. A galley slave was a slave rowing in a galley. Usually such slaves were prisoners-of-war or convicted criminals sentenced to work in the galleys. For ancient galley designs, with each rower being solely responsible for managing one oar, rowing was a skilled job, performed by trained volunteers. If, in times of need, it became necessary to use slaves, these were typically freed and trained first. However, for later designs, with 3 to 7 people handling one oar, individual skill mattered less, and it became possible to use slaves and even a leash.
