Elis controlled games 776-660 bce; pisa 660- 572; elis (officially) gains control in 470 bce. Temple of zeus: represents panhellenism (all the city states coming together) + eli"s victory. Logic: that pisa would control the olympic games b/c it was so much closer. Term: olympic truce: ekecheiria: hands off (know for exam) Announced by spondophoroi- truce bearers (heralds) from elis. Harolds would go to each city state and announce the ancient competition will begin. Prounced the olympic truce (1 month before games) Granted safe passage to those undergoing pilgrimage to the olympic games. Conduct 30 day training period (in elis) for the athletes; evaluate athletes for qualification to compete at olympics; conduct religious ceremonies; officiate games; crown victors with olive crown.
