According to the tradition of theEleans andPhliasians,Ares mated with Harpina in the city ofPisa (located in the ancient Greek region ofElis). The couple were the parents ofOenomaus, the king of Pisa.[1] The latter founded and named after his mother the city ofHarpina, not far from the river Harpinates, nearOlympia.[2] Pausanias mentions Harpina in his description of a group sculpture, donated by the Phliasians, of the daughters ofAsopus, which includedNemea,Zeus seizingAegina, Harpina,Corcyra,Thebe and Asopus. The sculpture was located in the sanctuary ofHippodamia atOlympia.[3]
