HIPPODAMEIA(ἱπποδάμεια, sc. ἔργα) is an adjective derived from the name of the architect Hippodamus of Miletus, who is said to have been the first of the Greeks who built whole cities on a regular architectural plan; and hence the word is applied to such cities, and to the public places and buildings in them. Peiraeus, for example, was designed by Hippodamus, and its market-place was called Ἱπποδάμειος ἀγορά (Xen. Hell. 2.4, § 11), Ἱπποδαμεία ἀγ. (Andoc. de Myst. § 45, Harpocrat. s. v. or simply ἡ Ἱπποδαμεία ([Dem.] c. Timoth. p. 1190.22). Hippodamus flourished during the second half of the fifth century B.C. (See Dict. of Biogr., art. Hippodamus; Dict. of Geogr., art. Athenae, pp. 306 b, 308 a; Müller, Archäol. d. Kunst, § 111.)
