Γιος του Περιήρη, γιος του Αιόλου) (Παυσ. 6,22,2).
Cordaca (Kordaka), a surname of Artemis in Elis, derived from an indecent dance called ko/rdac, which the companions of Pelops are said to have performed in honour of the goddess after a victory which they had won. (Paus. vi. 22.1)
Γιος του Αλξίωνα ή του Αρη, πατέρας της Ιπποδάμειας. Εχασε το βασίλειό του από τον Πέλοπα (Παυσ. 5,1,6).
Oenomaus, (Oinomaos). King of Pisa in Elis, son of Ares and
father of Hippodamia. An oracle had warned him that he should perish by the hands
of his son-in-law; and as his horses were swifter than those of any other mortal,
he declared that all who came forward as suitors for Hippodamia's hand should
contend with him in a chariot-race, that whoever conquered should receive her,
and that whoever was conquered should suffer death. The race-course extended from
Pisa to the altar of Poseidon, on the Corinthian Isthmus. The suitor started with
Hippodamia in a chariot, and Oenomaus then hastened with his swift horses after
the lovers. He had overtaken and slain many a suitor, when Pelops, the son of
Tantalus, came to Pisa. Pelops bribed Myrtilus, the charioteer of Oenomaus, to
take out the linch-pins from the wheels of his master's chariot, and Pelops received
from Poseidon a golden chariot and horses of great swiftness. In the race which
followed, the chariot of Oenomaus broke down, and he fell out and was killed.
Thus Pelops obtained Hippodamia and the kingdom of Pisa.
There are some variations in this story, such as that Oenomaus
was himself in love with his own daughter, and for this reason slew her lovers.
Myrtilus also is said to have loved Hippodamia, and as she favoured the suit of
Pelops, she persuaded Myrtilus to take the linch-pins out of the wheels of her
father's chariot. As Oenomaus was breathing his last, he pronounced a curse upon
Myrtilus. This curse had its desired effect, for as Pelops refused to give to
Myrtilus the reward he had promised, or else because Myrtilus had attempted to
dishonour Hippodamia, Pelops thrust him down from Cape Geraestus. Myrtilus, while
dying, likewise pronounced a curse upon Pelops, which was the cause of all the
calamities that afterwards befell his house.The tomb of Oenomaus was shown on
the river Cladeus, in Elis. His house was destroyed by lightning, and only one
pillar of it remained standing.

Πατέρας του Οινόμαου (Παυσ. 5,1,6).
Γιος του Πέλοπα, πατέρας της Αυτομέδουσας και της Περίβοιας.
Alcathous, (Alkathoos). The son of Pelops and Hippodamia, who obtained as his wife Evaechme, the daughter of Megareus, by slaying the Cithaeronian lion, and succeeded his father-in-law as king of Megara. He restored the walls of Megara, which is therefore sometimes called Alcathoe by the poets. In this work he was assisted by Apollo. The stone upon which the god used to place his lyre while he was at work was believed, even in late times, to give forth a sound, when struck, similar to that of a lyre.

Ο Μυρτίλος ήταν γιος του Ερμή και ηνίοχος του Οινόμαου. Ο Οινόμαος με τη βοήθεια του Μυρτίλου σκότωνε σε αγώνες τους μνηστήρες της κόρης του Ιπποδάμειας. Τη νέα όμως ερωτεύτηκε και ο Μυρτίλος, ο οποίος δεν τολμούσε να πάρει μέρος στους αγώνες και κατέληξε να προδώσει τον Οινόμαο παρασυρμένος από τον Πέλοπα, ο οποίος του ορκίστηκε ότι θα φρόντιζε να κοιμηθεί με την Ιπποδάμεια. Οταν μετά την προδοσία απαίτησε από τον Πέλοπα να τηρήσει τον όρκο του, εκείνος τον πέταξε από το πλοίο στη θάλασσα.
Myrtilus, (Murtilos). Son of Hermes, by Cleobule or Myrto. He was the charioteer of Oenomaus, whose defeat by Pelops in the race was due to his treachery. When he demanded the reward that had been settled, the half of the realm of Oenomaus, Pelops threw him into the sea near Geraestus, in Euboea, and that part of the Aegean was thence called the Myrtoan Sea. He was placed among the stars as the constellation Auriga.

Ηνίοχος του Πέλοπα (Παυσ. 5,10,7).
Chrysippus (Chrusippos). A son of Pelops, carried off by Laius. This circumstance became a theme with many ancient writers, and hence the story assumed different shapes, according to the fancy of those who handled it. The death of Chrysippus was also related in different ways. According to the common account, he was slain by Atreus, at the instigation of his step-mother, Hippodamia.

Chrysippus (Chrusippos), a son of Pelops by the nymph Axioche or by Danaiis (Plut. Parall.
Hist. Gr. et Rom. 33), and accordingly a stepbrother of Alcathous, Atreus, and
Thyestes. While still a boy, he was carried off by king Laius of Thebes, who instructed
him in driving a chariot (Apollod. iii. 5.5). According to others, he was carried
off by Theseus during the contests celebrated by Pelops (Hygin. Feb. 271); but
Pelops recovered him by force of arms. His step-mother Hippodamieia hated him,
and induced her solns Atreus and Thyestes to kill him; whereas, according to another
tradition, Chrysippus was killed by his either Pelops himself (Paus. vi. 20.4;
Hygin. Flb. 85; Schol. ad Thuc. i. 9). A second mythical Chrysippus is mentioned
by Apollodorus (ii. 1.5).
Hippalcmus, (Hippalkmos), the name of two mythical personages, the one a son of Pelops and Hippodameia, and the other an Argonaut. (Schol. ad Pind. Ol. i. 144; Hygin. Fab. 14.)
Κόρη του Οινόμαου και σύζυγος του Πέλοπα.
Hippodamia, (Hippodameia). A daughter of Oenomaus, king of Pisa,

Ο Μάρμαξ έφτασε στην Πίσα πρώτος από τους μνηστήρες της Ιπποδάμειας και ήταν ο πρώτος που σκότωσε ο Οινόμαος (Παυσ. 6,21,7).
Σύμφωνα με το έπος Μεγάλες Ηοίες οι μνηστήρες της Ιπποδάμειας που σκότωσε ο Οινόμαος ήταν οι εξής: Μάρμαξ, Αλκάθους, Ευρύαλος, Ευρύμαχος, Κρόταλος, Ακρίας, Κάπετος, Λυκούργος, Λάσιος, Χαλκόδων, Τρικόλων, Αριστόμαχος, Πρίαντας, Πελάγοντας, Αιόλιος, Κρόνιος, Ερύθρας και Ηιονεύς. Ο Παυσανίας δε γνώριζε τον τόπο καταγωγής των περισσότερων από αυτούς (Παυσ. 6,21,10-11).
Οι φοράδες του Μάρμακα, πρώτου μνηστήρα της Ιπποδάμειας, που ο Οινόμαος τις έσφαξε μαζί με το αφεντικό τους. Ο τάφος τους βρισκόταν κοντά στον ποταμό Παρθενία (Παυσ. 6,21,7).
