Descrizione

The latest facts of Hippias’ public life are examined in the light of statements and allusions included in the Corpus Platonicum (Protagoras, Hippias Maior, Hippias Minor, Menexenus) and Tertullian’s Apologeticus. Hippias’ political radicalism and revolutionary temperament are also discussed: preference of nature to law, criticism of the “tyranny” of laws, relativism and individualism. Political facts of 385-384 BC are examined in connection with the psychological and intellectual portrait of Hippias.
