Summary description from Wikipedia:
Hippodamia (daughter of Oenomaus)
Hippodamia (, ; also Hippodamea and Hippodameia; Ancient Greek: Ἱπποδάμεια "she who masters horses" derived from ἵππος hippos "horse" and δαμάζειν damazein "to tame") was a Greek mythological figure, the daughter of Oenomaus. She was the queen of Pisa and the wife of Pelops, appearing with Pelops at a potential cult site in Ancient Olympia.
Although Hippodamia does not speak within her mythologies, she is spoken about by both Oenomaus and Pelops. It is stated that Hippodamia is Oenomaus' only joy, and is a virtuous child. Oenomaus considered many men inferior to his daughter.
