The tradition & historical record

Τα Αλώτια ήταν αρχαία ετήσια εορτή με αγώνες που είχαν καθιερωθεί να γίνονται στο στάδιο της Τεγέας. Πήραν το όνομά τους εκ του αλωτός – άλωση, αφού ήταν αφιερωμένες στη περιφανή νίκη των Αρκάδων κατά των Λακεδαιμονίων, σε μάχη που έγινε περί τον 8ο αιώνα π.Χ. και κατά την οποία είχαν συλληφθεί οι περισσότεροι εκ των Λακεδαιμονίων. Τα Αλώτια ήταν, θα λέγαμε σήμερα, πανάρχαια εθνική εορτή των Αρκάδων.
