A landmark in Elis.
The Alesion Hill and Olenie (Olenian) Rock were distinctive landmarks between the cities of Hyrmine and Myrsinos (Myrsinus). In a skirmish prior to the Trojan War, Nestor of Pylos pursued the Eleans1 until he was turned back by the goddess Athene (Athena) at Alesion Hill.
1. The people of Elis were called Epeians and Eleans; the Epeians preceded the Eleans as inhabitants of Elis.
