This lover of Poseidon exiled his survivingsons after they killed their brother Chrysippus. Because this man was insufficiently confident in hishorsemanship, he bribed his opponent's charioteer to damage that opponent's wheels. This man, who thuscaused the death of Oenomaus, did not suffer from the curse that ensued after he killed the charioteerMyrtilus as well, but rather had many children with the wife he won, Hippodamia. After a mistake by thedistracted Demeter, this man's missing shoulder had to be replaced with ivory. For 10 points, name thisfather of Thyestes and Atreus, whose own father Tantalus attempted to serve him to the gods at a feast.
