Elis or Eleia (Greek, Modern: Ilida, Ancient: lis; Doric: Alis; Elean: Walis, ethnonym: ) 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 was, the lowland (compare with the word "valley").
