俄諾瑪俄斯
俄諾瑪俄斯(希臘語:Οινόμαος)是古希臘神話中的比薩王,[1]那伊阿得斯哈珀娜[2]或普勒阿得斯斯忒洛珀[3](有時也被認為是俄諾瑪俄斯的配偶)[4]和戰神阿瑞斯之子,希波達彌亞之父。除去斯忒洛珀的可能性之外,他的妻子也可能是阿爾戈斯的Evarete(阿克里西俄斯和歐律狄刻之女)。另外達那俄斯之女Eurythoe也被認為是他的母親[5]或配偶。[6]除去希波達彌亞,他的孩子還有留基伯(因愛戀達佛涅而死)和阿爾卡珀。鮑桑尼亞認為俄諾瑪俄斯的父親不可能是神而是人類。[7]歐里庇得斯著作《在陶里斯的伊菲革涅亞》中的譜系證據顯示,俄諾瑪俄斯是特洛伊戰爭的前二代之人,是亞崔迪、阿伽門農和墨涅拉俄斯的祖父。
珀羅普斯與俄諾瑪俄斯之死
珀羅普斯想要娶俄諾瑪俄斯之女希波達彌亞為妻,但是俄諾瑪俄斯曾經得到一個預言:他將會被自己的女婿殺死,爲了阻止這一事情發生,他通過戰車賽殺死了13個來向希波達彌亞求婚的人,並將他們的頭顱釘在宮殿的木柱上。[8]爲了娶到希波達彌亞,珀羅普斯決定與俄諾瑪俄斯比賽。爲了保證不失敗,珀羅普斯向波塞冬求助,後者交給他一輛飛馬拉的戰車。[9]珀羅普斯和希波達彌亞換掉了俄諾瑪俄斯車輪上的車軸,因此俄諾瑪俄斯因翻車被韁繩纏住,而被馬拖死了。俄諾瑪俄斯的車夫彌爾提洛斯倖存,但最終為珀羅普斯所殺。
彌爾提洛斯死前對珀羅普斯下了詛咒,導致後者的許多後代如阿特柔斯、梯厄斯忒斯、阿伽門農、墨涅拉俄斯和俄瑞斯忒斯都不得善終。同時彌爾提洛斯位於奧林匹亞的墓地也被認為是一個不祥之處。俄諾瑪俄斯的戰車賽被認為是古代奧林匹克運動會的起源之一,並產生了一些厄利斯傳說。[10]
