Hippocleides

During his term as archon, he set up the statue of Athena Promachos (πρὀμαχος) in Athens and oversaw a reorganization of the Panathenaia festival.

[1] As a young man, he competed for the hand of Agariste, the daughter of Cleisthenes, the tyrant of Sicyon.

According to Herodotus (6.129-130), Hippocleides became intoxicated during a dinner party with Cleisthenes, and began to act like a fool; at one point he stood on his head and kicked his legs in the air, keeping time with the flute music.

[5] John Henry Newman, in his famous Apologia pro Vita Sua, applied this saying to himself: "I am aware that what I have been saying will, with many men, be doing credit to my imagination at the expense of my judgment—'Hippoclides doesn't care;' I am not setting myself up as a pattern of good sense or of anything else: I am but vindicating myself from the charge of dishonesty.

He also had the Greek translation "ου φροντις" inscribed over the cottage door at Clouds Hill in Dorset.
