Nope not that I know of. There were no elevators like we know them in ye olde latin times

Chicken shit.

1) No, but you could invent one. Naming phobias seems to be a popular word game. For instance: "Arachibutyrophobia – fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth" 2) The fear of elevators is probably one (or several) of various other phobias, like: - "Acrophobia, Altophobia – fear of heights." - "Agoraphobia, Agoraphobia Without History of Panic Disorder – fear of places or events where escape is impossible or when help is unavailable." - "Claustrophobia – fear of confined spaces." - "Sociophobia – fear of people or social situations." - "Technophobia – fear of technology (see also Luddite)." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_phobias 3) "Claustrophobia is typically thought to have two key symptoms: fear of restriction and fear of suffocation. A typical claustrophobic will fear restriction in at least one, if not several, of the following areas: small rooms, locked rooms, tunnels, cellars, elevators, subway trains, caves, and crowded areas. Additionally, the fear of restriction can cause some claustrophobics to fear trivial matters such as sitting in a barber’s chair or waiting in line at a grocery store simply out of a fear of confinement to a single space. However, claustrophobics are not necessarily afraid of these areas themselves, but, rather, they fear what could happen to them should they become confined to said area. Often, when confined to an area, claustrophobics begin to fear suffocation, believing that there may be a lack of air in the area to which they are confined. Any combination of the above symptoms can lead to severe panic attacks. However, most claustrophobics do everything in their power to avoid these situations."
