A country town (kome, êώìç) of the Achaeans, perhaps identified as the Sparta mentioned in the Homeric epic. On what was perhaps the site of a prehistoric peak sanctuary, a sanctuary of Menelaos and Helen was founded in the Geometric period, where the couple were worshipped as gods. Remains of two terraces with rectangular embankments, the one enclosing the other (6th and 5th centuries BC). A ramp leads to the foundations of a small rectangular temple (naiskos) in their interior.
