Hippodamia (wife of Pirithous)
In
Ancient Greek: Ἱπποδάμεια means 'she who masters horses' derived from ἵππος hippos "horse" and δαμάζειν damazein "to tame") was the daughter of Atrax[2] or Butes[3] or Adrastus[4] and the bride of King Pirithous of the Lapiths. She was also known as Deidamia (/ˌdaɪdəˈmaɪ.ə/; Ancient Greek: Δηιδάμεια),[5] Laodamia /ˌleɪ.ədəˈmaɪ.ə/,[6] Hippoboteia /ˌhɪpəbəˈtaɪ.ə/,[7] Dia /ˈdaɪ.ə/[8] or Ischomache /ɪˈskɒməkiː/[9]
).
Mythology
At their wedding, Hippodamia, the other female guests, and the young boys were almost abducted by the
Centauromachy.[3][10][11][12] She gave birth to Pirithous's son Polypoetes,[13] but died shortly afterwards.[14]
The abduction of Hippodamia was not an uncommon subject of
Western art in the classical tradition, including the sculpture The Abduction of Hippodameia by French artist Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse and a painting by Rubens
