Women and Misogyny in Ancient Greek Philosophy

Do women love, hate, or lovehate each other?

The subject of women in antiquity is a fascinating but admittedly difficult pursuit. Women’s voices in ancient times were largely ignored or silenced in literature, historical narratives, philosophical discourse, and political life.

Since pursuits in the philosophical realm were predominantly viewed as the domain of elite men, women, slaves, and other [social] minorities are often left out of the narrative. This makes it extremely difficult to find reliable sources on women in ancient times, what their lives were like, and how they carried themselves.

However, this is not to say that women did not participate in such activities. There is, in fact, some surviving evidence of female philosophers who were arguably just as influential and talented at their craft as their male counterparts (Wider, 1986).

  The Missing Thread (D. Dunn)

  The same is true of Early Buddhism, where Prince Siddhartha's wife, Bimba Devi (known to the world as Princess Yasodhara) went on to become a fully enlightened nun and the fiercest disputant in all the land, challenging any man or monk in debate. But all of this is as hidden as the story of "Mary" in the Bible. Here, however, one glorious woman is dissipated by being given many names -- Bhaddha Kacca, Kaccana, Bhadda Kaccānā, Subhaddakā, Bimba Devi, Bimba Sundari, and eventually Yasodhara. See: Rāhulamātā ("Rahula's mother").

Socrates (Women in Antiquity)

Much of what we know about women in these times come from male sources and therefore needs to be closely analyzed and examined for biases and misinformation [not to mention disinformation].

Women were often mentioned by male philosophers concerning their roles in society and were frequently scrutinized for their perceived flaws in character inherent to their gender.

One prominent example of this was the wife of Socrates [one of them], Xanthippe, who was portrayed as nothing more than a nag and distraction for her husband’s philosophical pursuits (Wider, 1986).

Analyzing all aspects, both male philosophical opinions on women and the women themselves, provides important insight into the lives of women in antiquity.

Prominent Men on Women Progressive Views on Women Socrates and Plato

Alcibiades and [bi] Socrates?

Socrates (470-399 BCE) was a classical Greek philosopher and is said to be one of the fathers of Western philosophy. Socrates as a historical figure is shrouded in mystery, as he left no written records of his teachings. What survives of his ideas comes from the accounts of his students, such as Plato (427-347 BCE) and Xenophon (430-354 BCE), and it is important to note that they may have adapted Socratic thought to suit their own personal beliefs.
