 The Internet Classics Archive | Protagoras by Plato
When we entered, we found Protagoras taking a walk in the cloister; and next to him, on one side, were walking Callias, the son of Hipponicus, and Paralus, the son of Pericles, who, by the mother's side, is his half-brother, and Charmides, the son of Glaucon.
Also, "my eyes beheld Tantalus"; for Prodicus the Cean was at Athens: he had been lodged in a room which, in the days of Hipponicus, was a storehouse; but, as the house was full, Callias had cleared this out and made the room into a guest-chamber.
Son of Hipponicus, I replied, I have always admired, and do now heartily applaud and love your philosophical spirit, and I would gladly comply with your request, if I could.

But it fills me with wonderment, and I can in no wise believe the report, that the Alcmaeonidae had an understanding with the Persians, and held them up a shield as a signal, wishing Athens to be brought under the yoke of the barbarians and of Hippias.
The Alcmaeonidae, who have shown themselves at least as bitter haters of tyrants as was Callias, the son of Phaenippus, and father of Hipponicus.
This Callias was the only person at Athens who, when the Pisistratidae were driven out, and their goods were exposed for sale by the vote of the people, had the courage to make purchases, and likewise in many other ways to display the strongest hostility.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Cratylus by Plato
Son of Hipponicus, there is an ancient saying, that "hard is the knowledge of the good." And the knowledge of names is a great part of knowledge.
If I had not been poor, I might have heard the fifty-drachma course of the great Prodicus, which is a complete education in grammar and language- these are his own words- and then I should have been at once able to answer your question about the correctness of names.
Son of Hipponicus, you ask a solemn question; there is a serious and also a facetious explanation of both these names; the serious explanation is not to be had from me, but there is no objection to your hearing the facetious one; for the Gods too love a joke.

 Isocrates I, To Demonicus, tr. Freese
This moral lecture--it can hardly be called a speech--is one of the three "hortatory addresses," which stand first in the list of the "orations" of Isocrates.
It is a letter of advice to Demonicus, the youthful son of one Hipponicus, who, according to the argument by an unknown grammarian of the fourth century A.D. prefixed to the treatise, was a Cyprian and a friend of the orator.
Of the person to whom it is addressed nothing is known: it can only be gathered that the government of the state in which he lived was monarchical, and not republican.

 Callias   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
He was born somewhere between 455 and 450 in one of the richest families of Athens, the Ceryces, who, besides owning silver mines in Laurium that were at the root of its fortune, was one of the families in charge of the celebration of the Eleusinian mysteries, where it provided the torch-bearers.
His father was Hipponicus, "the richest man in Greece" (Andocides' On the Mysteries, 130), and his grandfather was the Callias who negociated the peace that bears his name, which put an end to the second Persian War in 449 (see Herodotus ' Histories, VII, 151).
Another Callias, the grandfather of the peace negociator, is also mentioned by Herodotus for his successes at the Olympic games, his wealth and huge expenditures, and his hate of tyranny (Histories, VI, 121-122).

The hoplites landed on shore and marched towards Tanagra, where they were joined by the main Athenian army that had been marching from Athens under Hipponicus and Eurymedon.
They plundered the countryside, and the next day defeated a combined Tanagran and Theban army, but returned to Athens after the victory.

This bird is the son of Philocles, who is the son of Epops;[1] so that, you see, I am his grandfather; just as one might say, Hipponicus,[2] the son of Callias, who is the son of Hipponicus.
Philocles is the son of Epops, because he got his inspiration from Sophocles' Tereus, and at the same time is father to Epops, since he himself produced another Tereus.
f[2] This Hipponicus is probably the orator whose ears Alcibiades boxed to gain a bet; he was a descendant of Callias, who was famous for his hatred of Pisistratus.

The wanton deed was soon noised about the city, and everybody was indignant, as was natural.
Early the next morning Alcibiades went to the house of Hipponicus, knocked at his door, and on being shown into his presence, laid off the cloak he wore and bade Hipponicus scourge and chastise him as he would.
[8.2] But Hipponicus put away his wrath and forgave him, and afterwards gave him his daughter Hipparete to wife.

I should like to narrate an experience of mine that gives me this conviction.
[1.2] It was on the occasion of the horse-races at the greater Panathenaic games; Callias, Hipponicus' son, was enamoured, as it happened, of the boy Autolycus, and in honour of his victory in the pancratium had brought him to see the spectacle.
When the racing was over, Callias proceeded on his way to his house in the Peiraeus with Autolycus and the boy's father; Niceratus also was in his company.

Dionusos is simply didous oinon (giver of wine), Didoinusos, as he might be called in fun,—and oinos is properly oionous, because wine makes those who drink, think (oiesthai) that they have a mind (noun) when they have none.
