My comment:

Hola Aracelli. Tengo la certeza que erastics como tal es una variante del término correcto que es "eristics" o en el peor de los casos un typos. Fíjate en la definición que hace Merriam Webster Unabridged. Saludos, Roger

No sabia que los Espartanos recibian educacion en retorica y pederastia

My comment:

I am not realy sure how to translate it into spanish without the bad connotation that pederastia has nowadays versus the true meaning back in ancient Greece, but I have found this reference that may help you further... hope it helps.

Erastica does not exist as far as I know...

erístico

My comment:

De acuerdo al diccionario de la real academia española, esta palabra no existe. La busqué en otros diccionarios y tampoco existe.
También la busqué en otros diccionarios, tanto como eurástico, eurástica, eurastics, y nada.
Lo que sí encontré fue eristic, que significa erístico, argumentativo, polémico; Sinónimos: argumentative, polemic, polemical, arguing, controversial, disputatious; Given to disputation for its own sake and often employing specious arguments.
¿Podría ser?

Espero te ayude
