Hippodami'a

Hippodami'a, the beautiful daughter of Enomans, king of Pisa, in Elis. It had been predicted to her father that he should be slain by his future son-in-law; he therefore stipulated that every suitor of his daughter should run a chariot-race with him, and that death should be the consequence of defeat. At length Pelops bribed the king's charioteer, and thus succeeded in reaching the goal before Enomans, who, in despair, killed himself. Hippodamia became by Pelops the mother of Atrens and Thyestes.
