Not long afterwards the Messenians occupied Elis , employing strategy and daring alike. The Eleians in the earliest times were the most law-abiding of the Peloponnesians, but when Philip the son of Amyntas did all the harm to Greece that has been related, he also bribed the leading men in Elis ; the Eleians were divided by factions for the first time and came to blows, it is said.
