OENOMAUS

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 14 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OENOMAUS , in .
Greek
 
legend
 , son of Ares and Harpinna, king of Pisa in
Elis
  and father of Hippodameia. It was predicted that he should be slain by his daughter's
husband
 . His father, the god Ares-Hippius, gave him winged horses
swift
  as the wind, and Oenomaus promised his daughter to the man who could outstrip him it the chariot race, hoping thus to prevent her
marriage
  altogether. Pelops, by the treachery of Myrtilus, the charioteer of Oenomaus, won the race and married Hippodameia. The defeat of Oenomaus by Pelops, a stranger from
Asia
 
Minor
 , points to the conquest of native Ares worshippers by immigrants who introduced the new religion of Zeus.
See Diod. Sic. iv. 73; Pausanias vi. 21, and elsewhere; Sophocles,
Electra
 , 504; Hyginus, Fab. 84. 253. Fig. 33 in
article
 
GREEK
  ART represents the preparations for the chariot race.
