HIPPO

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 517 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HIPPO , a
Greek
  philosopher and natural scientist, classed with the Ionian or
physical
  school. He was probably a con-temporary of
Archelaus
  and lived chiefly in Athens.
Aristotle
  declared that he was unworthy of the name of philosopher, and, while comparing him with Thales in his
main
 
doctrine
 , adds that his intellect was too shallow for serious consideration. He held that the principle of all things is moisture (TO &ypov); that fire develops from water, and from fire the material universe. Further he denied all existence
save
  that of material things as known through the senses, and was, therefore, classed among the " Atheists." The gods are merely
great
  men canonized by popular tradition. It is said that he composed his own epitaph, wherein he claims for himself a place in this
company
 .
