in the texts
History of the Peloponnesian War
Son of Pisistratus, brother of the ruling tyrant Hippias, killed by Harmodius and Aristogiton, commonly but incorrectly believed by Athenians to have been the tyrant himself.
For instance, the mass of the Athenians think that Hipparchus was tyrant when he was slain by Harmodius and Aristogiton;
In the mean time Hipparchus, having again solicited Harmodius with no better success, would not indeed offer any violence to him, but prepared to insult him in some secret way or other, as though it were not on that account.
Harmodius, then, being solicited by Hipparchus, son of Pisistratus, and not prevailed upon, denounced him to Aristogiton.
Stromata
Athenian tyrant targeted by the plot of Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
She, being privy to the plot of Harmodius and Aristogeiton against Hipparchus, did not in any way tell of it, though well tortured.
They say, for instance, that Hipparchus the Pythagorean, being charged with having written down the doctrines of Pythagoras plainly, was cast out of the school, and a pillar was set up over him as over one dead.
The Histories
Son of Pisistratus and brother of the tyrant Hippias, slain by Harmodius and Aristogiton after receiving a premonitory dream.
First Hipparchus, son of Pisistratus and brother of the tyrant Hippias, had been slain by Aristogiton and Harmodius, men of Gephyraean descent.
As soon as it was day, he imparted this to the interpreters of dreams, and presently putting the vision from his mind, he led the procession in which he met his death.
Now this was the vision which Hipparchus saw in a dream:
Constitution of the Athenians
Younger son of Pisistratus, patron of poets, assassinated by Harmodius and Aristogeiton.
Hipparchus was playful, amorous, and a lover of the Muses (and it was he who sent for Anacreon and Simonides and the other poets).
and seeing one of those who shared in the deed conversing in a friendly way with Hippias, and supposing he was giving information, and wishing to do something before they were arrested, they went down, and starting before the others, killed Hipparchus while he was marshalling the procession near the Leocorion, and ruined the whole enterprise.
When Pisistratus died, his sons held power, conducting affairs in the same way.
Theomnestus and Apollodorus Against Neaera
Actor of Athmonon who, with Xenocleides, hired Neaera as a courtesan at Corinth; called as a witness and deposes to this fact.
Hipparchus of Athmonon deposes that Xenocleides and he hired in Corinth Neaera, the present defendant, as a courtesan who prostituted herself for money, and that Neaera used to drink at Corinth in the company of himself and Xenocleides the poet.
I will, however, call Hipparchus himself and force him either to give testimony or take the oath of disclaimer, or I will subpoena him.
After this, you must know, she plied her trade openly in Corinth and was quite a celebrity, having among other lovers Xenocleides the poet, and Hipparchus the actor, who kept her on hire.
Meditations
Astronomer listed among the illustrious dead.
and besides these Eudoxus, Hipparchus, Archimedes, and other keen, high-minded, laborious, cunning, and self-willed natures, mockers of the very mortal and fleeting life of men, such as Menippus and the like.
De Anima
Philosopher who held the soul is composed of fire.
And I do not mean only those who fashion it out of manifest bodily things — as Hipparchus and Heraclitus out of fire, as Hippo and Thales out of water, as Empedocles and Critias out of blood, as Epicurus out of atoms (if atoms too compose corporealities by their conjunction), as Critolaus and his Peripatetics out of some fifth substance I know not what (if that too is a body, since it includes bod …
