   I think this will answer your question:   
      
   Hippodemeia (ee-poh-DAH-mee-ah or hip-poh-da-MEE-a): Daughter of   
   Oenomaos (ee-NOH-mah-ohs),   
   King of Pisa, an area which included Olympia.   
     Her father refused to allow anyone to marry her unless they could fend   
   him off in a chariot race to the death.   
     Thirteen suitors were each given a head start, but none could beat   
   back the king, all being killed by his royal hand.   
     However, with a wink and a nod from Zeus, Pelops (PEH-lops) outwitted   
   the king by sabatoging the wheels of his chariot.   
   Hippodemia was consequently forced to marry Pelops.   
   Her story is a poignant example of how women are considered   
   to be little more than chattel in dominator cultures.
