The Second World War and the ideological dictates of those in power both inside and outside of Greece at the time, which were responsible for the ensuing civil war, prevented my access to State-organized education beyond the middle school level.

 Destination greece travel Ancient Olympia Olympic Games Guide and History
Ancient Olympia's administrative nome, Elia prefecture, is among the most salubrious of the Peloponnese and if time permits and the inclination exists, I recommend renting a car and visiting it and the many other sites of the Peloponnese!
and from them, the nome is is still called Elia, but the territory is called Pisatis just to be fair and confusing.
It was the Elians that first called the area Olympia, perhaps to remind themselves of their homeland, or perhaps they just thought big and had superior public relations skills or both.
