Hippo (Greek woman) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hippo (Greek woman) Hippo was a Greek woman mentioned by the 1st century AD Latin author Valerius Maximus as an example of chastity. She was also included among the ''Famous Women'' written about by Giovanni Boccaccio in the 14th century. ==In Valerius Maximus==
Valerius Maximus included the story of Hippo in his ''Facta et dicta memorabilia'' as a foreign example of chastity to complement the Roman stories he has previously related. He stated that when Hippo was abducted by an enemy fleet, she decided to save her chastity at the cost of her life, and threw herself into the sea to her death. Her body was washed up on the shore of Erythrae. According to Valerius Maximus, a tomb was built for her which survived in his own day, and her glorious reputation had endured among the Greeks.〔Valerius Maximus (6.ext.1 ).〕
