Chariot Race of Pelops and Oinomaos
Suitor must win chariot race with Hippodameia’s father, Oinomaos.
So does Pelops. Charioteer of Oinomaos involved in plot.
Does Hippodameia, the daughter, know? Does the mother, Sterope?
Pelops wins the chariot race as Oinomaos’ bronze lynchpin melts, the wheel falls off, and he plunges to his death.
Aetiological myth for site and for Peloponnesos.
