PHILOSOPHER

Hippo

500 BC - 460 BC

Hippo

Hippo (; Ancient Greek: Ἵππων, Hippon; fl. 5th century BC) was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. He is variously described as coming from Rhegium, Metapontum, Samos, and Croton, and it is possible that there was more than one philosopher with this name. Although he was a natural philosopher, Aristotle refused to place him among the other great pre-Socratic philosophers "because of the paltriness of his thought". Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Hippo is the 671st most popular philosopher (down from 531st in 2019), the 1,937th most popular biography from Italy (down from 1,532nd in 2019) and the 50th most popular Italian Philosopher.
