Template:Short description Script error: No such module "other uses".
Hippodamia (Template:IPAc-en;[1] Template:Langx means 'she who masters horses' derived from Script error: No such module "Lang". hippos "horse" and Script error: No such module "Lang". damazein "to tame") was the daughter of Atrax[2] or Butes[3] or Adrastus[4] and the bride of King Pirithous of the Lapiths in Greek mythology.
She was also known as Deidamia (Template:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Script error: No such module "Lang".),[5] Laodamia Template:IPAc-en,[6] Hippoboteia Template:IPAc-en,[7] Dia Template:IPAc-en[8] or Ischomache Template:IPAc-en[9]).
Mythology
At their wedding, Hippodamia, the other female guests, and the young boys were almost abducted by the Centaurs. Pirithous and his friend Theseus led the Lapiths to victory over the Centaurs in a battle known as 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.
