	Hipponax
		Hipponax of Ephesus, was a Greek iambic[?] poet.
		Expelled from Ephesus in 540 BC by the tyrant Athenagoras[?], he took refuge in Clazomenae, where he spent the rest of his life in poverty.
		His coarseness of thought and feeling, his rude vocabulary, his want of grace and taste, and his numerous allusions to matters of merely local interest prevented his becoming a favourite in Attica.

		The punishment of the daughters of Lycambes by the Parian poet finds its exact parallel in the revenge which Hipponax took on the brothers Bupalus and Athenis.
		These brothers, who were sculptors of Chios, made statues of Hipponax, in which they caricatured his natural ugliness ; and he in return directed all the power of his satirical poetry against them, and especially against Bupalus.
		The most striking feature in jthe satirical Iambics of Hipponax is the change which he made in the metre, by introducing a Spondee or Trochee in the last foot, instead of an Iambus.

		In Alexandrea their poems seem to have been regarded as forming one collection; and thus the criterion by which to determine whether a particular passage belonged to the one or the other was often lost, or never existed.
		Hence, in the uncertainty which is the true author, the same verse is occasionally ascribed to both.2 The few fragments which are attributed with certainty to Ananius are so completely in the tone of Hipponax, that it would be a vain labor to attempt to point out any characteristic difference.
		Akin to the Iambic are two kinds of poetry, which, though differing widely from each other, have both their source in the turn for the delineation of the ludicrous, and both stand in a close historical relation to the iambic: 1.

		What emerges is that the thematic differences between Hipponax and his predecessors are reflected in the morphology of his language, vocabulary and narrative devices.
		Hipponax, with his concentration on the third person, would seem to be nearest to the elegiac patterns in this respect; the difference is that he uses the third person with a concreteness that bears little resemblance to the generalizing pronouncements of the other poets.
		K notes that certain iambic themes are discarded in the 530's and concludes that around the middle of the sixth century an important change takes place in the use of iambic inscriptions: an awareness of the inappropriateness of iambic meter to express the spirit of epitaphs and dedications.

	Michael Schmidt - A chapter from THE FIRST POETS: LIVES OF THE ANCIENT GREEK POETS
		Even six centuries after his death, Hipponax was a by-word for rancour; he was a monster, amusing so long as one was not caught in his line of verbal fire.
		Hipponax is among the first poets to defecate in verse, to reflect on the stench of faeces and the hungry, pestilential swarming of the dung-beetles, drawn to a reeking pile and to the orifice from which it dropped.
		Hipponax sought the hand of Bupalos’ daughter in matrimony but was turned down because of his ugliness.

	Tradition and Innovation in Hellenistic Poetry - Cambridge University Press
		Callimachus’ Hipponax clearly maintains his customary critical and polemical spirit; thus, in addressing the philologists of the Museum, he uses expressions that verge on contempt for the abusive psogos of the archaic iambic (vv.
		In other words, the new iambi are purified from the biting personal aggressiveness with which, according to the biographical tradition, the archaic Hipponax drove his enemies, Bupalus and Athenis, to commit suicide (just as the other principal archaic iambic poet, Archilochus, was believed to have done to his beloved, Neobule, and/or her father).
		Hipponax’s rhēsis, ‘discourse’, is very similar in its formal organisation to the typical discourse of an orator or philosopher of third-century Alexandria.

	Greek, Hipponax - Hipponax
		Hipponax of Ephesus was an Ancient Greek iambic poet.
		His deformed figure and malicious disposition exposed him to the caricature of the Chian sculptors Bupalus and Athenis, upon whom he revenged himself by issuing against them a series of satires.

	Tecum
		Hipponax was perhaps a little more equal than some, since he bore the initials "Ph.D." after his name, but I was never quite certain where he had performed his graduate work, or in what subject.
		At the chancellor's end-of-year reception, I spotted Hipponax again, talking with the old boy himself, obviously sharing a joke, both men smiling and nodding.
		And then, for no reason at all, there flashed into my mind an image of Pulu's idol, with Dr. Claudius Hipponax sitting crosslegged on the floor in front of him, burning live insects in a small brazier between his legs, the bugs crackling and popping as they exploded from the heat.

	The Baldwin Project: Three Greek Children by Alfred J. Church
		Hipponax saw with a little shudder the very skin of the bear which had almost killed his father twenty years before, and was very much pleased to find dogs that were great-nephews or, it may have been, great-great-nephews of their own Hylax.
		Hipponax was getting excited when he looked over the edge of the boat and saw the big fishes swim up to his bait and look just as if they were just going to take it.
		The creature was smelling at [177] the bait for at least the tenth time when the fisherman said to Hipponax, "Now's the time, sir," and at the same time laid hold of the little boy's hand and gave the line a sideways jerk.

	Epode VI
		Achernus, a sculptor, made an ugly statue that Hipponax took to represent him.
		Hipponax in retaliation attacks Achernus so savagely that both his sons committed suicide.
		Here the speaker goes through the transformation that the boy did in epode 5 – when he sees innocence attacked he becomes the meaner dog and the stronger bull, in fact directly Archilochus and Hipponax.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.02.04
		A.-H. also demonstrates Callimachus' pervasive concerns throughout the Iambi with ethical and aesthetic criticism, the metaphor of a journey for the connection to earlier Greek poetry, the mixing of humble and elevated registers, the crossing of genres, and Callimachean poetics.
		After brief sections on Hipponax' aesthetic criticism and other receptions of Hipponax in Hellenistic poetry, A.-H. examines the poem section by section, demonstrating its multiple dualities: the speaker is both Hipponax and Callimachus, the time both archaic and contemporary, and the place both Ephesus and Alexandria.
		Thus, in Iambus 3 Callimachus recreates Hipponax' marginalized persona in terms of a poet in need of patronage and in Iambus 5 as a colleague of the humble school-teacher that he admonishes.

		They are said to have hanged themselves like Lycambes and his daughters when assailed by Archilochus, the~model and predecessor of Hipponax.
		His coarseness of thought and feeling, his rude vocabulary, his want of grace and taste, and his numerous allusions to matters of merely local interest prevented his becoming a favorite in Attica.
		He was considered the inventor of parody and of a peculiar metre, the scazon or choliambus, which substitutes a spondee for the final iambus of an iambic senarius, and is an appropriate form for the burlesque character of his poems.

		Hipponax [112] turned quite pale when he saw the poor creature killed, but his father had warned him that he must not show any sign of being afraid or of not liking it.
		And afterwards, later in the day, there was a great feast given in the temple, at which there were many things besides broiled meat; fish and fowl, and all kinds of meat, and pastry made up into wonderful shapes of birds and beasts and ships and temples.
		Hipponax sat by his father's side, and had as much as he could eat of marrow, which was considered to be the greatest dainty, and therefore most fit for a nobleman's son.

	BMCR-L: BMCR 2003.02.04, Benjamin Acosta-Hughes, Polyeideia
		After brief sections on Hipponax' aesthetic criticism and other receptions of Hipponax in Hellenistic poetry, A.-H. examines the poem section by section, demonstrating its multiple dualities: the speaker is both Hipponax and Callimachus, the time both archaic and contemporary, and the place both Ephesus and Alexandria.
		The central approach is again to read the poem as a sort of dialogue between the archaic and the Alexandrian but in this case with a sort of reversal; while Iambus 1 emphasized the comparability of the two settings, Iambus 13 emphasizes their difference.
		Thus, in Iambus 3 Callimachus recreates Hipponax' marginalized persona in terms of a poet in need of patronage and in Iambus 5 as a colleague of the humble school-teacher that he admonishes.

	Scapegoat Rituals
		Hipponax wishes that his enemies be treated as pharmakoi or scapegoats.
		Thus, this implies that they will be fed with figs, barley cake, cheese and then, during inclement weather, they will be hit on the genitals with the squill and with twigs of the wild fig tree.
		Tzetzes, who cites Hipponax, adds that the scapegoat was finally burned on wild wood and his ashes strewn into the sea.

	Greek Poets 3 - Crystalinks
		Mimnermus was the first to make the elegiac verse the vehicle for love-poetry.
		He set his own poems to the music of the flute, and the poet Hipponax says that he used the melancholy "the fig-branch strain," said to be a peculiar melody, to the accompaniment of which two human purificatory victims were led out of Athens to be sacrificed during the festival of Thargelia (Hesychius, s.v.).
		Moschus, Ancient Greek bucolic poet and friend of the Alexandrian grammarian Aristarchus, was born at Syracuse and flourished about 150 BC.

	Hipponax
		If their line is traced back to the great-grand- father, it will be found that the art took its rise at the beginning of the Olympiads.
		Hipponax was remarkable for the ugliness of his face, for which reason they exposed his portrait in wanton mockery to jesting crowds, until Hipponax in indignation turned the weapons of his bitterest satire against them with such effect that as some believe he drove them to hang themselves.
		This is not the case : for they afterwards made many statues in the neighbouring islands, as for example in Delos, where their work bore a metrical inscription, stating that Chios was famed not only for its vines but also for the works of the sons of Archermos.

	Aoidoi: The Fragmentary Poems of Archilochus
		Although no more precise about archaic dates than we are, he would have placed Homer about four hundred years after the Trojan War, Hesiod somewhat later, and Archilochus in the time of Gyges, about or after 480 B.C., as we know from the Parian Marble.
		Archilochus' volumes were currently available to him, and he would hardly have thought that this author and Hipponax and Sappho, let alone a hundred others, would have virtually disappeared in the next seven hundred years.
		Almost everything we know about Archilochus comes from his poems, but the surprising thing is how much quality information we have been able to glean from this scrappy source.

		Preface and sketch of the life of Secundus by Hipponax Rosat.
		The translation of the poem is attributed to Dr. John Nott (1751-1826); however, according to a February 14, 1866 article in Philadelphia's Evening Bulletin, since Nott's translation as published by another press is completely different, this translation may be by Rosat.
		The article also claims that "Hipponax Rosat" is an anagram for the name of "a gentleman well-known in bibliographical circles." The NUC identifies this as Joseph Ruppert Paxton, author and member of the Philadelphia Bar.

		At the same time it also highlights the fact that Callimachus shares the 'strong' interests of his iambic verses with his declared model Hipponax, far more than has been usually assumed.
		He also includes a detailed analysis of the Alexandrian poet's artistic relationship with the earlier iambic poets Archilochus and Hipponax.
		Polyeideia will interest not only readers of Greek and Hellenistic poetry but also readers of Roman satire and invective verse, as well as those intrigued by the processes of memorializing and fashioning poetic culture.

		Writers as different as Milton, who mentions him in the Areopagitica as trying the patience of the defenders of the freedom of speech, and Wyndham Lewis, who spits like a cat at his reputation, took his satiric talent for granted without really knowing what he wrote.
		Hipponax alone among the archaic poets, we are told, has as sharpened a stylus as Archilochos, and Hipponax is remembered for a grim little couplet:
		Though he is said to have written with venom and, according to Gaitylikos, splashed Helicon with gore, we have no evidence of anything so caustic.
