		In Greek mythology, Pelops was a son of Tantalus and Dione, and father of Pittheus, Plisthenes, Atreus and Thyestes.
		After his resurrection, Pelops was more beautiful than before; Poseidon fell in love with him, took him up to Olympus and made the youth his lover, teaching him to drive the divine chariot.
		Later, Zeus threw Pelops out of Olympus, angry that his father, Tantalus, had stolen the food of the gods, given it to his subjects back on Earth and revealed the secrets of the gods.

		The number of events increased to twenty, and the celebration was spread over several days.
