"What is a leader if he hides behind the walls he built himself? Send me fire, storm, or sickness, but bring me justice for my city."
―Hermippos[src]

Hermippos (died 431 BCE) was a member of the Eyes of Kosmos branch of the Cult of Kosmos, operating in Athens, Greece during the 5th century BCE. He was son of Lysis and brother of Myrtilos.

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.

When the Spartan misthios Kassandra set out to demolish the Cult of Kosmos, Hermippos became one of her targets.


Trivia

  • In the novel Hermippos dies at sea, drowning alongside three other cultists, their ship cleaved by the Adrestia as Kassandra flees Athens for Argolis in search of Hippokrates just after he attempted to poison her at Perikles's Symposium.
