Iphĭtus

（Ἴφιτος).

1.

A son of Eurytus, king of Oechalia. (See Heracles.)

2.

A king of Elis, son of Praxonides, in the age of Lycurgus. He reestablished the Olympic Games 470 years after their first institution, or B.C. 884. It was not, however, until 108 years after this (B.C. 776) that the custom was introduced of inscribing in the gymnasium at Olympia the names of those who had borne off the prize in the stadium. (Pausan. v. 4, 5).
