Hippo (or Hippon, Greek: Ἵππων), was a Presocratic Greek philosopher of the 5th century BC. Greek (el ελληνική γλώσσα or simply el ελληνικά — "Hellenic" is an Indo-European language, spoken today by 15-22 million people mainly The Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers were active before Socrates or contemporaneously but expounding knowledge developed earlier The 5th century BC started the first day of 500 BC and ended the last day of 401 BC. He is variously described as coming from Rhegium,[1] Metapontum,[2] Samos,[3] and Croton,[4] and it is possible that there was more than one philosopher with this name.

Although he was a natural philosopher, Aristotle refused to place him among the other great Pre-Socratic philosophers "because of the paltriness of his thought.

The Pre-Socratic Greek philosophers were active before Socrates or contemporaneously but expounding knowledge developed earlier "[5] At some point Hippo was accused of atheism, but as his works have perished, we cannot judge why. Atheism He was accused of impiety by the comic poet Cratinus in his Panoptae. Impiety is a lack of proper concern for the obligations owed to cult; that is to the outward practices of a belief system Cratinus ( Greek Κρᾰτῖνος, ca 520 BC- after 423 BC Athenian comic Poet. [6]
According to Hippolytus, Hippo held water and fire to be the primary elements, with fire originating from water, and then developing itself by generating the universe. For places named after the saint see Saint-Hippolyte Saint Hippolytus of Rome (c Water has been important to all peoples of the earth and it is rich in spiritual tradition Fire has been an important part of many cultures and religions from pre-history to modern day and was vital to the development of civilization The Universe is defined as everything that Physically Exists: the entirety of Space and Time, all forms of Matter, Energy Simplicius, too, says that Hippo thought that water was the principle of all things. Simplicius (Σιμπλίκιος of Cilicia, lived c 490-c 560 AD was a disciple of Ammonius and Damascius, and was one of the last of the Neoplatonists [7] Most of the accounts of his philosophy suggest that he was interested in biological matters. He thought that there is an appropriate level of moisture in all living things, and disease is caused when the moisture is out of balance. A disease is an abnormal condition of an organism that impairs bodily functions and can be deadly [4] He also viewed the soul as arising from both mind and water. The soul, according to many religious and philosophical beliefs is the self-awareness, or Consciousness, unique to a particular living [1] A medieval scholium on Aristophanes' The Clouds attributes to Hippo the view that the heavens were like the dome of an oven (Greek: πνιγεὐς) covering the Earth.
