The spring led to a natural cave which was inhabited by bears. During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra explored the place, finding one of the Ainigmata Ostraka within.Assassin's Creed: Odyssey – Ainigmata Ostraka: Prophecy Prevention Around the same time, she met members of the cult of Hedone camping at the spring.
