On a battlefield near Thebes in 371, Epaminondas broke the Spartan hoplite phalanx and killed one of its kings.

He was equally renowned for his classroom style, in which he peppered nuanced readings of ancient texts with references to his beloved New York Yankees and inventive, sometimes comic exercises in class participation, like having students form a hoplite phalanx to demonstrate how Greek soldiers marched into combat.

Elliott came up with the idea of a therapy-dog television series called “Love Unleashed” and has found a production partner in Hoplite Entertainment.

“I have decided to close the Hoplite managed funds and return third-party capital as soon as possible,” Lykouretzos said in the letter seen by Reuters.

In 2018, when a late year stock market sell-off wiped away gains at many big hedge funds, Hoplite’s return was flat, outperforming the Standard & Poor’s 500, which fell roughly 5%.
