Hippodamos from Miletus

-

Hippodamos (born ca. 510 BC in Miletus, died 443 BC) is a Greek city mathematician and mathematician. He spread the regular urbanism (called his hippodame system). Author of the Treaty on the Formation of Policies. Well known mainly from Aristotle's writings.

He was the son of Euryfont. Probably the main author of the plan to rebuild the family Miletus about 479 p.n.e. after the destruction of the Persians. Shortly thereafter, he was invited to Athens, where he commissioned Temistocles to design a general Piraeus project (about 475 p.n.). In recognition of the merits of the Hippodamos, he received a house in Piraeus from Athens, at an agora named after him. Later (446 BC) he designed a Turioi colony in Sicily, to which he moved about 443 BC. He is also assigned to the town of Rhodes (but his authorship is not certain).

The creator of the theoretical system of an ideal city for 10,000 inhabitants divided into three classes (warriors, craftsmen and farmers), criticized by Aristotle in his thesis titled " Policy.

The Hippodames' chessboard design was probably not written by Hippodames, as already in the 7th century BC. was used in iii. Most likely, Hippodames only disseminated it in Greece proper.

He was a friend of Pericles and supported his social ideas. Bibliography Authoritative control (person):

The state should also index the boundaries of the tax brackets. When it does not, citizens nominally earn more, but they also "fall into" higher and higher tax brackets, for which they have to pay higher taxes.
