Lampeia

Lampeia (Greek: Λάμπεια, before 1928: Δίβρη - Divri,[2] between 1928 and 1929: Πρινόφυτον - Prinofyton[3]) is a mountain village, a community and a former municipality in Elis, West Greece, Greece.

According to Pausanias the river Erymanthos has its source on the mountain Lampeia, which is sacred to Pan.

The Zoodochos Pigi monastery in Lampeia was a centre of Greek culture and education.

Several inhabitants fought in the Greek War of Independence, and some well known families of politicians (Petralias, Panagoulis, Stefanopoulos, Zafeiropoulos) came from Divri/Lampeia.

Lampeia was created as one of the eight municipalities of the Elis prefecture in the 1830s, and was disbanded in 1913.
