Hippias (died about 490 bc), tyrant of Athens, one of the Pisistratidae. After 527 bc he continued the policies of his father, Pisistratus, but did not enjoy Pisistratus's popularity with the Athenians. Hippias was forced from power in 510 bc and exiled. He subsequently lived at the Persian court and served as an adviser to the Persians at Marathon.
