Larissa era una ciudad en las tierras fronterizas de la antigua Élide y la antigua Acaya. Según un fragmento de Teopompo, citado por Estrabón, estaba en el camino entre Élide y Dime. Está relacionada con el río Larisos, que servía como frontera entre Élide y Acaya y junto al cual se encontró un templo de Atenea Larisea. Es dudoso si Jenofonte quiere referirse a la ciudad o al río, al mencionar 'κατὰ Λάρισσαν' como el lugar donde el rey espartano Agis II entró en Élide desde Acaya.
“And the hairy he-goat [stands for] the king of Greece; and as for the great horn that was between its eyes, it [stands for] the first king. And that one having been broken, so that there were four that finally stood up instead of it, there are four kingdoms from [his] nation that will stand up, but not with his power.”
“Greece is a sort of American vassal; the Netherlands is the country of American bases that grow like tulip bulbs; Cuba is the main sugar plantation of the American monopolies; Turkey is prepared to kowtow before any United States proconsul and Canada is the boring second fiddle in the American symphony.”
“Fuck your parliament and your constitution. America is an elephant. Cyprus is a flea. Greece is a flea. If these two fleas continue itching the elephant, they may just get whacked good. We pay a lot of good American dollars to the Greeks, Mister Ambassador. If your Prime Minister gives me talk about democracy, parliament and constitution, he, his parliament and his constitution may not last long.”
“Hellas has been transformed to an endless bedlam.”
