Triphylia

Triphylia was a region of the western Peloponnese between the rivers Alpheios and Neda, south of Elis, with towns such as Lepreon and Samikon. Long dominated by Elis, it was detached from Elean control by Sparta after their war of about 402–400 BCE and later joined the Arcadian League. It lies today in the regional unit of Elis.
