Ilia - Peloponissos

Ilia the birthplace of Olympic Games
Ilia has a long and varied history. Most of Ilia was taken over by Epians during the archaic era. Epians owe their origin to the Achaians who immigrated to Ilida in 1500 B.C.
It is believed that the area was named after King Ilios, the son of Amphimahos and Hyrmine. Other famous Kings of Ilia were Aethlios, Endymionas, Herpeios, Aitolos and Ifitos. According to Pausanias, Ifitos revived the Olympic games.

Regarding the Olympic games, the first two Olympic champions, Koroevos and Symahos came from Ilia.
In 588 B.C. the Ilians came into conflict with Pisates over the control of the Olympic games. After that the judges always came from Ilia and Ilians were the permanent administrators of the Olympic games. It is well known that Ilians took part in the Persian wars, whereas during the Peloponnesian and the Corinthian wars
( 431-404 B.C. and 395-387 B.C. respectively) they allied with the Spartans.
During Macedonian Hellenism, the Ilians were forced by Philip II to be ruled by the Macedonian friendly group of aristocrats.
A little while later in 146 B.C. the Roman general Lefkios Mommios conquered Ilia which then became a part of the Roman Empire. Ilia was granted autonomy in 54-68 B.C.
In 394 B.C. the Emperor Theodosios the Great abolished the Olympic Games because he thought them to be a paganistic remnant. Around the 8th century a number of Slavs settled here. Later the Arabs (881 A.D.),Bulgarians (978 A.D.), the Venetians (1125 A.D.) and the Normans (1150A.D.) invaded Ilia. However they were all defeated and had to abandon the Peloponnese.
During the Venetian occupation (1687-1775 A.D) Ilia suffered devastation and the people were subject to religious pressure by the Latins.
In 1775 A. D. the Turks took over the Peloponnese which suffered from their cruelty. Ilians actively participated in the Revolution of 1821 - many becoming distinguished generals.
In 1941, Ilia was taken over by the Italians who left in 1943 only to be replaced by the Germans for a year .
Since the dictatorship, Ilia has found its normal rhythm and is a peaceful county. The main occupations of its inhabitants are cattle - raising, trade and business.
