the Argive women

Pĕlops, ŏpis, m., = Pelops.

Son of Tantalus, king of Phrygia, father of Atreus and Thyestes, grandfather of Agamemnon and Menelaus; in his childhood he was served up to the gods by his father for food (truncatus Pelops, Stat. Th. 4, 590), but was recalled to life by Jupiter, who gave him an ivory shoulder in place of the one eaten by Ceres (umeroque Pelops insignis eburno, Verg. G. 3, 7). Being afterwards driven out of Phrygia, he went to Elis, and by artifice obtained the hand of Hippodamia, daughter [p. 1327] of king Œnomaus, to whose throne he succeeded. By means of the wealth which he brought with him, he acquired so great an influence that the entire peninsula was called, after him, the island of Pelops (Peloponnesus), Hyg. Fab. 83, 84; Serv. Verg.
