Hierocles (charioteer)
text:
Hierocles was a favourite and lover of the Roman Emperor Elagabalus. Most of the descriptions of his life are given by Cassius Dio and the Historia Augusta. Hierocles was from Caria in Anatolia, and was at some point enslaved, later becoming a charioteer in the service of Elagabalus. Initially, he was a lover and student of another charioteer named Gordius. Elagabalus was said to have been captivated by the blond and youthful Hierocles when the athlete fell in front of him during a chariot race.
