Kevin JohnsonNARRATOR
24:31
the greater hippias more resembles the euthydemus than any other dialogue but is immeasurably inferior to it the lesser hippias seems to have more merit than the greater and to be more platonic in spirit the character of hippias is the same in both dialogues but his vanity and boasting are even more exaggerated in the greater hippias His art of memory is specially mentioned in both.

Um, and then shortly after that, the Greeks said, "I really like this." In fact, there's a, a Greek, um, thinker and mas-mathematician named Hippodamus who's known as the father of city planning, and he was bully for grids too.
Chuck BryantHOST

Yeah, if you have a grid that's still-- they-- people still call that the Hippodamian plan
Chuck BryantHOST
18:18
planWhich is kind of great all these years later to still get recognized for your grid work.
