Hippodamia or Hippodameia (Ancient Greek: Ἱπποδάμεια, "she who masters horses") was the bride of King Pirithous (Peirithous) of the Lapiths. At their wedding the drunken centaur Eurytion (Eurytus) tried to seize her, sparking the Centauromachy. Homer names her mother of Polypoetes. She is distinct from Hippodamia daughter of Oenomaus, bride of Pelops.

I.Wedding and Centauromachy
Ancient sources disagree on her father — Atrax, Butes, or Adrastus. Pirithous invited centaurs to the wedding feast. Ovid's Metamorphoses 12, speaking through Nestor, tells how the wild centaur Eurytus, inflamed by wine and desire, dragged the bride by the hair; other centaurs seized women, and Theseus smashed Eurytus with a mixing-bowl. The ensuing battle left the Lapiths victorious and the centaurs slaughtered.
Hippodamia later bore Pirithous a son, Polypoetes, who led the Lapith contingent at Troy; some accounts say she died soon after childbirth. Pausanias notes pedimental and sanctuary art showing Eurytion seizing the wife of Peirithous.
II.Homonym care
The atlas id hippodameia-lapith is Pirithous' Lapith bride alone. She must not be confused with Hippodamia daughter of Oenomaus (Pelops' wife at Pisa), with Trojan or Danaid women of similar name, or with other Hippodameiai in local catalogues.
