Hippo'lytus

(Ἱππόλυτος).

1. One of the giants who was killed by Hermes. (Apollod. 1.6.2.)

Hippo'lytus

2. A son of Theseus by Hippolyte or Antiope. (Schol. ad Aristoph. Ran. 873; Tzetz. ad Lycoph. 449, 1329, 1332; Eurip. Hippol.) After the death of the Amazon, Theseus married Phaedra, who fell desperately in love with Hippolytus; but as the passion was not responded to by the stepson, she brought accusations against him before Theseus, as if he had made improper proposals to her. Theseus thereupon cursed his son, and requested his father (Aegeus or Poseidon) to destroy him. (Cic. de Nat. Deor. 3.31, de Off. 1.10 ; Serv. ad Aen. 6.445, 7.761.) Once therefore, when Hippolytus was riding in his chariot along the sea-coast, Poseidon sent a bull forth from the water. The horses were frightened, upset the chariot, and dragged Hippolytus till he was dead. Theseus afterwards learned the innocence of his son, and Phaedra, in despair, made away with herself. Asclepius restored Hippolytus to life again, and, according to Italian traditions, Artemis placed him, under the name of Virbius, under the protection of the nymph Egeria, in the grove of Aricia, in Latium, where he was honoured with divine worship. (Hyg. Fab. 47, 49; Apollod. 3.10.3; Ov. Met. 15.490, &c., Fast. 3.265, 6.737 ; Hor. Carm. 4.7.25; comp. Virbius.) There was a monument of his at Athens, in front of the temple of Themis. (Paus. 1.22.1.) At Troezene, where a tomb of Hippolytus was shown, there was a different tradition about him. (Paus. 1.22.2; comp. Eurip. Hippolytus.)

There are two other mythical personages of this name. (Apollod. 2.1.5; Diod. 4.31.) [L.S]

Hippo'lytus

(Ἱππόλυτος).

1. An early ecclesiastical writer of considerable eminence, but whose real history is so uncertain, that almost every leading point of it is much disputed. He appears to have lived early in the third century ; and the statement commonly received for a long time was, that he was bishop of Portus Romanus (the harbour of Rome), at the mouth of the Tiber (for which the Paschal Chronicle is one of the earliest authorities, if not the earliest), and that he suffered martyrdom under Alexander Severus, or about his time, being drowned in a ditch or pit full of water. That his learning was great, and his writings numerous, we have the testimony of Eusebius and Jerome, the earliest writers who speak of him. They both speak of him as a bishop, but without naming his see (for the passage in the Chronica of Eusebius, in which he is called ἐπίσκοπος Πόρτου τοῦ κατὰ Ῥώμην, is evidently corrupt), and Jerome expressly asserts that he could not ascertain it. His episcopal dignity, in the common understanding of the word ἐπίσκοπος, is disputed by C. A. Heumann, who contends that he was " praefectus " of the port of Ostia; but we are not aware that this opinion has found any supporters. (Heumann, Primitiae Gotting. No. xvii. p. 239.)

As Eusebius thrice mentions Hippolytus, in immediate connection with Beryllus, bishop of Bostra in Arabia, it is contended by Le Moyne, Assemani (Bibl. Orient. vol. iii. p. i. c. vii. p. 15), and others, that Hippolytus was also an Arabian bishop, and Le Moyne contends that he was a native of that country. In the treatise De Duabus Naturis, generally regarded as a work of pope Gelasius I. [Gelasius, No. 3], he is called " Arabiae Metropolita," but this, so far as his metropolitan rank is concerned, is an error, the probable origin of which is pointed out by Basnage. The ignorance of Jerome as to his see, and the mistake of Gelasius as to his dignity, render it very unlikely that he was bishop of any place in the immediate neighbourhood of Rome, still less of Rome itself, as Leontius of Byzantium, and Anastasius Sinaita, appear to have held. The fact of his works being in the Greek language increases the improbability of his being an Italian bishop, or of his belonging at all to the west of Europe; though the instances of Clement of Rome and Irenaeus prevent this argument from being quite conclusive. That he was an Arabian, at least an Eastern bishop, is most likely ; but the opinion of Le Moyne and others, that he was bishop of the city in the territory of Adana, which was the great emporium of the Roman trade (Philostorg. H. E. 3.4), and was therefore called Portus Romanus, is very questionable. Its only support is the subsequent currency of the belief that Hippolytus was bishop of the Portus Romanus, near Rome; but this belief is more likely to have gained ground from the mouth of the Tiber, or its vicinity, being the scene of Hippolytus's martyrdom.

The time in which he lived is determined by Eusebius, who places him in the early part of the third century; and whose statement leads us to reject the account of Palladius (Hist. Lausiac. 100.148, apud Bibl. Patr. vol. xiii. p. 104, ed. Paris, 1654) and Cyril of Scythopolis (Vita S. Euthymii apud Cotelerius, Eccl. Graec. Monum. vol. iv. p. 82) that he was acquainted with the apostles. Photius makes him a disciple of Irenaeus, which may be true; the same may be said of the statement of Baronius, who " had read somewhere " that he was a disciple of Clement of Alexandria; a statement repeated by some moderns (Semler, Hist. Eccles. Selecta Capita, vol. i. p. 73), but supported by no other appeal to ancient authority than the very indistinct one of Baronius. Photius says that Hippolytus was an intimate friend and admirer of Origen, whom he induced to become a commentator on the Scriptures, and for whose use he maintained at his own cost seven amanuenses or clerks, to write from his dictation, ταχύγρυφοι, and as many others (γράφοντες εἰς κάλλος) to write out a fair transcript. But although the acquaintance of Hippolytus with Origen is confirmed by the assertion of Hippolytus himself, who stated (according to Jerome) that he had Origen among his hearers when preaching, the other particulars given by Photius are founded on a misunderstanding of a passage in Jerome, who asserts that Ambrosius of Alexandria, a Marcionite, whom Origen had converted, induced by the reputation which Hippolytus had acquired as a commentator, engaged Origen in the exposition of Scripture, and supplied him with the amanuenses already described.

The martyrdom of Hippolytus is not mentioned by Eusebius; but Jerome calls him martyr (Praef. ad Matthaeum); and Photius and subsequent writers commonly so designate him. His name is found in the Roman, Greek, Coptic, and Abyssinian martyrologies; but the variations in the calendars are such, that we must suppose them to record the martyrdom of several Hippolyti. Prudentius, a Christian poet of the earlier part of the fifth century, has a long poem (Liber περὶ Στεφάνων, seu De Coronis: Hymn. ix.) on the martyrdom of Hippolytus; but this is a different person from the subject of the present article, unless we suppose, with some critics, that Prudentius has confused three Hippolyti, and made them one. The date of the martyrdom of our Hippolytus is doubtful. Alexander Severus, under whom it has been commonly placed, was not a persecutor; and if we suppose, with some of the best critics, that the Exhortatorius ad Severinam, enumerated among the writings of Hippolytus, is the work noticed by Theodoret as addressed πρὸς Βασιλίδα τινά " to a certain queen " or " empress, " and that Severina was the wife of the emperor Philip the Arabian, we must bring his death down to the persecution of Decius (about A. D. 250), if not later; in which case Hippolytus, if a disciple of Irenaeus, who died in or near A. D. 190, must have been a very old man. The place of his martyrdom was probably near Rome, perhaps the mouth of the Tiber or the adjacent sea, and the mode drowning, with a stone round his neck. In this case he must have left the East and come to Rome; and there may be some truth in the statement of Peter Damiani, cardinal bishop of Ostia, near Rome, a writer of the eleventh century (Opera, vol. iii. p. 217, Opuscul. 19.100.7, ed. Paris, 1743), that after converting many of the Saracens (a circumstance which accords with the supposition that his diocese was in Arabia) he resigned his bishopric, came from the East to Rome, where he suffered martyrdom by drowning, and was buried by the pious care of his fellow-Christians. In 1551 the statue of a man seated in a monastic habit, and with a shaven crown, was dug up in the neighbourhood of Rome; some of our authorities say near a church of St. Laurence, others say of St. Hippolytus (perhaps the church was dedicated to both, as their names are united in the Martyrologies): on the sides of the seat were inscribed the Canon of Hippolytus, and a list of his works. Three plates of the statue are given in the edition of the works of Hippolytus published by Fabricius.

In the Acta of a council held at Rome under pope Sylvester,A. D. 324 (Labbe, Concilia, vol. i. col. 1547, &c.), the deacon Hippolytus was condemned for the Valentinian heresy. It is very doubtful if this is our Hippolytus, who was so far from being a Valentinian, that Epiphanius mentions him (Panar. Haeres. 31.100.33), with Irenaeus and Clement, as having written against them. The Acta are so corrupt, if indeed they are not spurious, that they cannot be relied on; and if the memory of our Hippolytus (for he himself had been long dead) incurred any censure at the council, it was probably for differing from the Roman church in the calculation of Easter, to which subject he had given great attention. Works

Several of the works of Hippolytus are enumerated by Eusebius, Jerome, and Photius, and are known by citations in ancient writers. Editions

Various portions of the works of Hipplytus are extant, most of which were collected and published by J. A. Fabricius, under the title of S. Hippolyti Episcopi et Martyris Opera, 2 vols. fol. Hamb. 1716-18. Mills, the editor of the N. T., had contemplated an edition of Hippolytus, and after his death his papers were transmitted to Jo. Wil. Janus, of Wittemburg, who was also prevented by death from bringing out the work. The collections of Mills and Janus contained some pieces or fragments not included by Fabricius; and further collections appear to have been made by Grabe and others. The genuineness of the extant writings of Hippolytus has been disputed. Semler doubts the genuineness of the whole; and Oudin and Mills (Proleg. ad N. T. p. lxii.) of nearly the whole.

The extant works and fragments were reprinted by Gallandius (Bibl. Pair. vol. ii. fol. Venet. 1766), who arranges them in the following order :-- 1. Ἀπόδειξις περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Ἀντιχρίστου

Ἀπόδειξις περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Ἀντιχρίστου, Demonstratio de Christo et Antichristo. This was first published by Marquardus Gudius, 8vo. Paris, 1661, and was given by Combéfis in his Auctar. Novissim. vol. i. fol. Paris, 1672, with a Latin version, which was reprinted in the Biblioth. Pair. vol. xxvii. ed. Lyon. 1677. Mills makes this work the only exception to his judgment that the extant works of Hippolytus are spurious: he admits that it is " perhaps " genuine. The work published with a Latin version by Joannes Picus as a work of Hippolytus, Περὶ τῆς συντελείας τοῦ κόσμου καὶ περὶ τοῦ Ἀντιχρίστου καὶ εἰς τὴν δευτέραν παρουσίαν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, De Consummatione Mundi et de Antichristo, et secundo advent Domini nostri Jesu Christi, is pronounced by Combéfis to be spurious, and as such is, in the edition of Fabricius, given in an Appendix to the first vol. The work of Hippolytus, De Antichristo, is mentioned by Jerome and Photius. 2. Εἰς τὴν Σωσάνναν

Εἰς τὴν Σωσάνναν, In Susannam. This was also published by Combéfis, as above, with a Latin version, which was reprinted in the Biblioth. Patrum, with the foregoing. It is apparently part of the commentary on Daniel mentioned by Jerome, of which some other parts remain. Hippolytus interprets the history of Susanna allegorically: Susanna is a type of the church. 3. Ἀποδεικτικὴ πρὸς Ἰουδαίους

Ἀποδεικτικὴ πρὸς Ἰουδαίους Demonstratio adversus Judaeos. Fabricius gave in his 1st vol. a Latin version of this fragment, by Franciscus Turrianus, which Possevinus had printed (Appar. Sac. vol. i. p. 763, &c.), and in his 2nd vol. the original Greek, which Montfaucon had communicated to him. As the piece appears to be a paraphrase of Psalm lxix. Fabricius suspects it is part of Hippolytus's Commentary on the Psalms. 4. Πρὸς Ἑλληνας λόγος

Πρὸς Ἑλληνας λόγος This is only a fragment. Its authorship is claimed for Hippolytus, on the authority of the inscription on his statue, where it is called Πρὸς ῞ελληνας καὶ πρὸς Πλατῶνα ῍η καὶ περὶ τοῦ παντός. It was published by Hoeschelius in his notes to Photius, and by Le Moyne in his Varia Sacra, as well as by Fabricius. It appears to be the work described by Photius, under the title Περὶ τοῦ παντός, or Περὶ τῆς τοῦ παντὸς αἰτίας or παντὸς οὐσίας. Its authorship was in his time very doubtful. At the head of his Codex (No. 48) it was called a work of Josephus ; but he says it was variously ascribed to Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Caius, to which last he himself attributes it. The genuineness of this fragment is admitted by Oudin. 5. Εἰς τὴν αἵρεσιν Νοέτου τινός

Εἰς τὴν αλ̔́ρεσιν Νοέτου τινός, Contra Haeresin Noeti. This is probably the concluding portion of his work Πρὸς ἁπάσας τὰς αἱρέσεις, Adversus omnes Haereses, mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome, and described by Photius as directed against thirty-two heresies, beginning with the Dositheans, and ending with Noetus, the contemporary of Hippolytus. 6. Κατὰ Βήρωνος καὶ Ἥλικος τῶν αἱρετικῶν περὶ θεολογίας καὶ σαρκώσεως

Κατὰ Βήρωνος καὶ Ἥλικος τῶν αἱρετικῶν περὶ θεολογίας καὶ σαρκώσεως, De Theologia et Incarnatione contra Beronem et Heliconem (s. Helicem) haereticos. The eight fragments given by Gallandius of this work, which is perhaps another portion of the work against heresies, are preserved by Nicephorus of Constantinople, in his Antirrhetica contra Iconomachos, and were first published in a Latin version in the Lectiones Antiquae of Canisius, vol. v. p. 154 (4to. Ingolstadt, 1604), and in Greek by Sirmond, in his Collectanea Anastasü Bibliothecarü, 8vo. Paris, 1620. These pieces form the pars prima of the writings of Hippolytus given by Gallandius.

The second part contains the following works: 7. Fragmenta ex Commentario in Genesin,

Fragmenta ex Commentario in Genesin, printed by Fabricius from a MS. in the Imperial Library at Vienna. 8. Fragmenta ex Commentarüs in varios Sacrae Scripturae Libros,

Fragmenta ex Commentarüs in varios Sacrae Scripturae Libros, viz. in Hexäemeron, in Genesin, in Numeros, in Psalmos, in Psalm II., in Psalm XXIII., in Proverbia, in Canticum Canticorum, in Isaiam, in Danielem, and in Canticum Trium Puerorum. These fragments were collected by Fabricius from MSS. or from the citations ancient writers. The expository writings of Hippolytus are mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome, from whom we learn that he wrote several other expositions besides those mentioned above. 10. Fragmenta alia,

Fragmenta alia, from the work Adversus Haereses, from the work Περὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πάσχα, De Sancto Pascha, mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome; and from the Πρὸς βασιλίδα τινὰ ἐπιστολή, Epistola ad quamdam Reginam, which is thought to be the Προτρεπτικὸς πρὸς Σεβήρειναν, Exhortatorius ad Severinam, of the inscription on the statue. 11. Περὶ χαρισμάτων ἀποστολικὴ παράδοσις

Περὶ χαρισμάτων ἀποστολικὴ παράδοσις, De Charismatibus Apostolica traditio, and some extracts from the Constitutiones Apostolicae, lib. viii. The authorship of these pieces is claimed for Hippolytus on the authority of the inscription on his statue, and of some MSS. 12. Narratio de Virgine Corinthiaca et de quodam Magistriano,

Narratio de Virgine Corinthiaca et de quodam Magistriano, from Palladius (Hist. Lausiac. 100.148). 13. Canon Paschalis,

Canon Paschalis, or Table for Calculating Easter, together with a catalogue of the works of Hippolytus, from the inscription on the statue. The Paschal Cycle of Hippolytus was of sixteen years. The table appears to have been part of his work Περὶ τοῦ πάσχα, mentioned by Eusebius, and of which an extract is given among the Fragmenta mentioned in No. 10. The canon of Hippolytus has been illustrated by the labours of Joseph Scaliger, Dionysius Petavius, by Franciscus Blanchinius, and others. Dubious Works

The fragment of the Commentary of Hippolytus on Genesis, published by Fabricius, from an Arabic Catena, in Syriac characters, from a MS. in the Bodleian Library, with a Latin version by Gagnier, is rejected by Gallandius as not belonging to the subject of this article; and the short pieces, Περὶ τῶν ιβ́ ἀποστόλων, De Duodecim Apostolis, and Περὶ τῶν ό ἀποστόλων, De Septuaginta Apostolis, given by Fabricius in the appendix to his first volume, are either of doubtful genuineness or confessedly spurious.

There were several other works of Hippolytus enumerated by Jerome and other ancient writers now lost. Further Information

Hippo'lytus

2. Jerome mentions an Hippolytus whom (according to the common but perhaps a corrupt reading) he designates a Roman senator, among the writers who defended Christianity against the Gentiles. There is much difference of opinion among critics as to the person meant. Some suppose that the bishop of the Portus Romanus (No. 1 ) is intended, and that Jerome has converted him from a bishop into a senator. Fabricius suggests that the senator may be one of two Hippolyti recorded in the Martyrologies as suffering in the persecution under Valerian. (Hieron. Epist. 83 (olim 84) ad Magnum ; Opera, vol. iv. pars ii. col. 656, ed. of Benedictin. Paris, fol. 1693, &c.; Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. vii. p. 198.]

Hippo'lytus

3. Of Thebes, a writer of the tenth or eleventh centuries, of whose personal history nothing is known, and whose date can only be approximately given. Date

In his principal work, his Chronicle, he cites Symeon Metaphrastes, whom he calls, as if speaking of a contemporary, ὁ κύριος Συμεών; but the age of Symeon himself (fixed by some in the 10th century, by others in the 12th) is too doubtful to afford much aid in determining that of Hippolytus. Hippolytus is quoted by Michael Glykas, a writer of the middle of the twelfth century, and who confounds, as do some moderns, Hippolytus of Thebes with Hippolytus of Portus Romanus (Annales, pars iii. p. 227, ed. Paris, p. 423, ed. Bonn), and by Nicephorus Callisti, who died A. D. 1327. (H. E. 2.3.) Works Chronicon

The principal work of Hippolytus is his Chronicon, Ἱππολύτου Θηβαίου Χρονικόν Σύνταγμα (or Σύγγραμμα). Editions

A Latin version of a fragment of this was published by Joannes Sambucus, 8vo. Padua, 1556, under the title of Libellus de Ortu et Cognatione Virginis Mariae ; and a part in Greek, with a Latin version, was given in the third volume of the Lectiones Antiquae of Canisius.

Various fragments were given in the Commentarü de Biblioth. Caesar. of Lambecius; and some others were added Emanuel Schelstratenus in his Antiquitat. Ecclesiae Illustratis, fol. Rome, 1692, in which he made important corrections in the text, and most or all the portions thus collected were reprinted by Fabricius in his edition of the Works of Hippolytus of Portus, partly in the appendix to the 1 st vol. and partly in the 2d vol. Basnage, in his edition of Canisius, made some farther additions, and the whole, with one or two additional fragments, were given in the Biblioth. Patrum of Gallandius, vol. xiv. p. 106, &c. Short pieces on the Apostles Editions

Two short pieces, Περὶ τῶν ιβ́ Ἀποστόλων and Περὶ τῶν ό Ἀποστόλων, which some have ascribed to Hippolytus of Portus (No. 1), the first of which had been published by Combéfis in his Auctarium Novum, vol. ii. fol. Paris, and which are given by Fabricius among the " dubia ac supposititia, " in his edition of Hippolytus, are also given by Gallandius as the productions of Hippolytus of Thebes

Fabricius, in his Bibl. Gr. vol. vii. p. 200, considers them to be portions of his Chronicon. Further Information

Some other Hippolyti enumerated by Fabricius (Bibl. Gr. vol. vii. p. 197, &c.) are too unimportant to require notice here. [J.C.M]

Hippolytus

(Ἱππόλυτος). The Joseph of classical literature, a son of Theseus and Hippolyté, or, according to others, of Theseus and Antiopé. Theseus, after the death of his first wife, married Phaedra, the daughter of Minos and sister of Ariadné. This princess was seized with a criminal affection for the son of the Amazon, an affection produced by the wrath of Aphrodité against Hippolytus for neglecting her divinity and for devoting himself solely to the service of Artemis; or else against Phaedra as the daughter of Pasiphaë (q.v.). During the absence of Theseus, the queen made advances to her step-son, which were indignantly rejected. Filled with fear and hate, on the return of her husband she accused Hippolytus of an attempt on her honour. Without giving the youth an opportunity of clearing himself, the monarch, calling to mind that Poseidon had promised him the accomplishment of any three wishes that he might form, cursed and implored destruction on his son from the god. As Hippolytus, leaving Troezen, was driving his chariot along the seashore, a monster, sent by Poseidon from the deep, terrified his horses; they burst away in fury, heedless of their driver, dashed the chariot to pieces, and dragged along Hippolytus, entangled in the reins, until he died. Phaedra ended her days by her own hand; and Theseus, when too late, learned the innocence of his son. Euripides has founded his tragedy, Hippolytus, on this subject, but the legend assumes a somewhat different shape with him. According to the plot of his play, Phaedra hangs herself in despair when she finds that she is slighted by her step-son, and Theseus, on his return from his travels, finds, when taking down her corpse, a writing attached to it, in which Phaedra accused Hippolytus of having attempted her honour. According to another legend, Aesculapius restored Hippolytus to life, and Artemis transported him, under the name of Virbius, to Italy, where he was worshipped in the grove of Aricia. (See Virbius; Apollod.iii.10.3.) The story of Hippolytus forms the subject of a play by Euripides with that title, of a Latin tragedy by Seneca, and the Phèdre of Racine.
