Brit.

/ˈhɪpədeɪm/, U.S.

/ˈhɪpəˌdeɪm/

Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item; perhaps modelled on a Greek lexical item. Etymons: English hippotame , hippopotamus n.

Etymology: Probably an alteration of hippotame, variant of hippopotamus n. (compare α. forms at that entry), after either ancient Greek ἱππόδαμος hippodame n.² or the name of Hippodamia (ancient Greek Ἱπποδάμεια ), wife of Pelops (see note); with the sense compare earlier hippopotamus n. 2.In Greek mythology Pelops won the hand of Hippodamia in a chariot race, with the aid of Poseidon (Neptune in Roman mythology), god of the sea. The story of Hippodamia is popular in early modern English literature.

Probably: a mythical creature with the head, neck, shoulders, and forelegs of a horse and a body ending in the tail of a fish or dolphin; = hippocamp n.Only in or with reference to Spenser's Faerie Queene. In some later editions glossed simply as hippopotamus; cf. hippopotamus n. 2.

1758 J. Upton in E. Spenser Faerie Queene II. 486/1 There is something humorous in Spenser's grooping these fantastical beings thus together: Hippodames are sea-horses.

1972 Stud. Eng. Lit. 12 28 Two full stanzas [of the Faerie Queene] are spent in describing Neptune and his Hippodames.
