“At the notion of having Hippocleides as his son-in-law, Cleisthenes did not wish to make his displeasure public. The sight of Hippocleides pumping his legs in the air to the music, however, was the final straw. ‘Son of Tisander,’ he declared, ‘you have danced away your marriage.’ To which Hippocleides retorted: ‘Hippocleides could not care less!’. And that was how the celebrated phrase first came to be uttered.”
