A young nobleman of the city of Atlantis, Hippias had once been a lover of the queen, Galleia. One day he witnessed the disappearance of High Priest Krasis from the Temple of Poseidon, and took this to be a sign that the deity Kronos was to return. He alerted King Dalios of what he had seen. Whilst the old king feared the release of Kronos, knowing it would be the doom of Atlantis, Hippias and some of the younger nobles argued that it would mean the return of greatness to the city. When the Master arrived in Atlantis, and began to woo Galleia, Hippias became jealous. The queen was able to manipulate him into going to the temple to steal the great crystal of Kronos so that the creature would be freed. However, the crystal was guarded by a fearsome Minotaur. Hippias saved Jo Grant from it, but at the cost of his own life.
