Theano (philosopher)とは 意味・読み方・使い方

Theano (Greek: Θεανώ; 6th-century BC) is the name given to perhaps two Pythagorean philosophers. She has been called the pupil, daughter and wife of Pythagoras, although others made her the wife of Brontinus. Her place of birth and the identity of her father are just as uncertain, leading some authors to suggest that there was more than one person whose details have become merged (these are sometimes referred to as Theano and Theano II). A few fragments and letters ascribed to her have survived which are of uncertain authorship. She may also have been a teacher in the Pythagorean school, which had 28 female Pythagoreans participating in it.
