Biography
Hermippos found his calling in life in theater and the Cult of Kosmos. The former helped him in the designs of the latter, for Hermippos used the theater to influence the Athenians' and accuse Perikles, the leader of Athens, of weakness and cowardice. He lived in Athens, in the house deemed one of the most beautiful houses in the whole city. During the day, though, he could be found within the Lame One's Temple in Athens.[1]
When the Spartan misthios Kassandra set out to demolish the Cult of Kosmos, Hermippos became one of her targets.[2]

After the discussion, Aristophanes tracked Kassandra to find Hermippos at his residence since he was nowhere to be found. At the residence, Kassandra found a cultist mask indicating Hermippos' identity as a member of the Cult of Kosmos. [citation needed]
After Kassandra had killed Hermippos, she found the word "Nyx" etched onto his gloves. Whether this was an act of fealty or provocation, this clue served to bring her closer to the Sage of the Eyes of Kosmos.[2]
Correspondence
Hermippos sent a letter to his fellow Eye, The Master, urging the Master to be patient, and telling him that Hermippos' contact "a fort captain who feeds me information" had promised that Attika would soon fall.[1]
