Amyclae
Amyclae was an ancient town in Laconia, a few kilometres south of Sparta in the Eurotas valley. A Mycenaean centre in the Bronze Age, it was absorbed by Sparta, probably in the eighth century BCE, becoming the fifth of its villages. It was famous for the Amyclaeon, the sanctuary of Apollo and Hyacinthus with a colossal statue of Apollo, where the Spartans celebrated the festival of the Hyacinthia.
