Elis

Elis /ˈɛlᵻs/ or Eleia /ɛˈlaɪ.ə/ (Greek, Modern: Ήλιδα Ilida, Ancient: Ἦλις Ēlis; Doric: Ἆλις Alis; Elean: Ϝαλις Walis, ethnonym: Ϝαλειοι) is an ancient district that corresponds to the modern Elis regional unit. Elis is in southern Greece on the Peloponnesos peninsula, bounded on the north by Achaea, east by Arcadia, south by Messenia, and west by the Ionian Sea. Over the course of the archaic and classical periods, the polis of Elis controlled much of the region of Elis, most probably through unequal treaties with other cities, which acquired perioikic status. Thus the city-state of Elis was formed.

Homer mentions that Elis participated in the Trojan War.

The first Olympic festival was organized in Elean land, Olympia, Greece by the authorities of Elis in the 8th century BC, with tradition dating the first games at 776 BC. The Hellanodikai, the judges of the Games, were of Elean origin.

The local form of the name was Valis, or Valeia, and its meaning, in all probability, “the lowland” (compare with the word "valley"). In its physical constitution Elis is similar to Achaea and Arcadia; its mountains are mere offshoots of the Arcadian highlands, and its principal rivers are fed by Arcadian springs.

    Forgotten Love

    by: Elis

    Past is haunting me
    Fragments of memory
    disturb my peace of mind
    Hours of delight
    now seem a thousand years away
    I was a fool to let you go
    My heart and soul
    are filled with sadness
    Deep as grey oceans in your eyes
    My heart and soul
    are filled with sadness
    Despair spreads its fingers around my mind
    Days of love and hope
    were followed by aeons of loneliness
    as darkness sunk into our hearts
    The other one's shadow
    stood between us, a silent wall of doom
    darkening the sky
    My heart and soul
    are filled with sadness
    Deep as grey oceans in your eyes
    My heart and soul
    are filled with sadness
    Despair spreads its fingers around my mind
    Only memories remain
    in a world now cold and dark
    Where flowers grew now dust has covered everything
    Crying doesn't help anymore
    so what can I do?
    Torn in pieces is my heart
    I don't know where to go
    My heart and soul
    are filled with sadness
    Deep as grey oceans in your eyes
    My heart and soul
    are filled with sadness
    Despair spreads its fingers around my mind
    God how I wish you back
    but my mistakes can never be undone
