Ellotia

or Hellotia (τὰ ἐλλώτια or ἑλλώτια). A festival with a torch-race celebrated at Corinth in honour of Athené as a goddess of fire (Athen. xv. p. 678 a, b).

A festival of the same name was celebrated in Crete in honour of Europa. The ἑλλωτίς, from which the festival derived its name, was, according to Seleucus (ap. Athen. l. c.), a myrtle garland twenty cubits in circumference, which was carried about in the procession at the festival of the Ellotia.
