Helpfulness
While walking around night Olympia and taking a film about a place I suddenly saw a giant figure at the wall of the Church.
Who was he? May be poor Oenomaos, King of Pissa and father of Hippodamia who pursued thirteen suitors of Hippodamia and killed them all after beating them in a chariot race and died during the race against Pelops?
Or may be he was Pelops himself who deceived Oenomaos, married Hippodamia and killed Myrtilus who helped him removing the linchpins attaching the wheels to the chariot of Oenomaos? Don’t know.
Or may be it was my own shadow? Decide for yourself!
You may watch my 1 min 16 sec VIDEO-Clip Greece Olympia Evening walk out of my YouTube channel with pleasant Greel popular music.
