Pisa
Pisa was a major city of the region of Elis. It was situated on the north bank of the river Alpeius, not far from the border of Arcadia. Not far from the city was the small town of Olympia.
Pisa was founded by Pisus, son of Perieres. Pisa did not gain prominence until Oenomaüs and Pelop. Pisa broke away from Elis' dominance, during the reign of Pelops, and fought the Eleans for the control of the Olympic Games, which were held every four years.
For the genealogy, see the House of Pelops.
