O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian

Oenomaus

The father of Hippodamia and a king of the district of Elis on the western Peloponnesian Peninsula.

Oenomaus offered Hippodamia to Pelops as a bride if the young suitor could defeat him in a chariot race; Pelops bribed Oenomaus’ charioteer, Myrtilus, to sabotage the chariot and thus won the race and the hand of Hippodamia.
