Elis, or Eleia (Greek, Modern: Ήλιδα Ilida, Ancient: Ἦλις Ēlis; Doric: Ἆλις Alis; Elean: Ϝαλις Walis, ethnonym: Ϝαλειοι) is an ancient district that corresponds with the modern Elis regional unit. It 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 will have had perioikic status.
The first Olympic festival was organized in Elean land, Olympia, Greece by the authorities of Elis in the 8th century BCE - with tradition dating the first games at 776 BCE. The Hellanodikai, the judges of the Games, were of Elean origin.[citation needed]
The local form of the name was Valis, or Valeia, and its meaning, in all probability, “the lowland” (compare with the word "valley").[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]

Plot: Three city kids are taken somewhat reluctantly to a farm out in the forests of Sweden. There they meet the resident country kids who's rosy cheeks and youthful antics mirror the apathy and cynicism of the children grown up in the callous and barren streets of the city. In the country, strange and mysterious things are afoot. Sudden fires, cars braking down and enigmatic sightings point to there being more than the modern man fathoms in the woods. People talk of trolls and beings in the woods, guardians of the land, but the grown ups do not believe and the cynical city children say such talk is nonsense.

Genres: ,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
