  ELIS - LoveToKnow Article on ELIS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In the time of Pausanias it was in a very decadent condition, and possessed only a poor brick-built temple of Demeter; but considerable remains of its outer walls are still in existence near the village of Strovitzi, on a part of the Minthe range.
The original inhabitants of Elis were called Caucones and Paroreatae.
They are mehtioned for the first time in Greek history under the title of Epeians, as setting out for the Trojan \\Tar, and they are described by Homer as living in a state of constant hostility with their neighbors the Pylians.

 Caucones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to brief mentions by Herodotus and some other classical writers, the Caucones (or Kaukones) were an indigenous ("autochthonous") tribe of Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), who were displaced or absorbed by the immigant Bithynians, who were a group of clans from Thrace that spoke an Indo-European language.
Thracian Bithynians also expelled or subdued the Mysians, and some minor tribes, the Mariandyni alone maintaining themselves in cultural independence, in the northeast of what became Bithynia.
The Caucones are not to be confused with the Cicones (also mentioned in the Iliad and the Odyssey) who were a Thracian tribe on the south coast of Thrace.

 Bithynia - Gurupedia
The existence of a tribe called Thyni in Thrace is well attested, and the two cognate tribes of the Thyni and Bithyni appear to have settled simultaneously in the adjoining parts of Asia, where they expelled or subdued the
Mysians, Caucones, and other minor tribes, the Mariandyni alone maintaining themselves in the northeast.
Bithyni as existing side by side; but ultimately the latter must have become the more important, as they gave their name to the country.

 The Wolf Peoples
Lycaon and the Caucones depict a wolf peoples outside of Greece, and prior to Greece's existence, for Greece was founded after that flood.
But now that we see Lycus having the same father as the father of Gyges, while one of the Hecatonchire was named "Gyges," I think that Lycaon was from the Gyges family of monsters, meaning simply that he was a Gogi but revealing that he was related to the Lydians and Lycians.
Remember, one of the 50 sons was Caucon, probably the same peoples as the Cacus who lived on the Aventine hill of Rome.

 Russians Are Manes-ly Because of the Medes
Thus Pan, the half-goat human whom I think refers halfly to the Getae, had a station in Ephyra (in northern Peloponnesus, north of Argos).
This reveals that he and Hermes were Gorgons, and in fact Hermes was born near Ephyra, in Arcadia, land of the Caucones.
As evidence that the Getae were Cimmerians in particular, some say that the Getae were ancestors of the Goths, the latter coming forth from Jutland, a Danish peninsula that was also called "Cimbri" after the Cimmerians.
