Speranza
According to Sosibius, there was in Sparta a sanctuary whose name, the Elacataeon, derived from that of a hero, Elacatas, in whose honour the Spartans staged the games known as the "Elacatia". Sosibius, who is a good historian of Sparta, also tells us that Elacatas was the eromenos of Ercole.
The only rite associated with Elacatas is in fact a contest.
