strange man, whose fondness for [personal recognition]
led him into … eccentricity …” Hippodamus wouldn’t be

ideal city-state: ten-thousand governing citizens divided
into artisans, farmers, and soldiers. Land divided into
three parts: public, private, and sacred. According to
Aristotle, Hippodamus was “the first [non-statesman] who
made inquiries about the best form of government.”

about government. But he praised Hippodamus for his
attention to the urban environment of an ideal city-state.
