Mythic Skeptical

Greek Text

Ἐπειῷ δὲ γήμαντι Ἀναξιρόην τὴν Κορώνου θυγάτηρ μὲν Ὑρμίνα, ἄρσεν δὲ οὐκ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ γένος· καὶ τάδε ἄλλα συνέβη κατʼ Ἐπειὸν βασιλεύοντα. Οἰνόμαος ὁ Ἀλξίωνος, Ἄρεως δὲ καθὰ ποιηταί τε ἐπεφήμισαν καὶ τῶν πολλῶν ἐστιν ἐς αὐτὸν λόγος, οὗτος δυναστεύων περὶ τὴν Πισαίαν καλουμένην ὁ Οἰνόμαος ἐπαύθη τῆς ἀρχῆς διαβάντος Πέλοπος τοῦ Λυδοῦ ἐκ τῆς Ἀσίας.

English Translation

Epeius married Anaxiroe, the daughter of Coronus, who bore him a daughter named Hyrmina, but no male offspring. Other events also occurred during the reign of Epeius. Oenomaus, son of Alxion—though the poets affirm he was the son of Ares, a belief generally held by most people—who had ruled in the region called Pisa, was dispossessed of his power upon the coming of Pelops the Lydian from Asia.
