Context de creació femenina
Pythias of Aso was born in Aso, a Greek city of the Troas in Mysia, a region of Asia Minor near the island of Lesbos. Today it belongs to Turkey. In classical Greece, there were many women who played an important role in different fields of knowledge. In addition to Pythias, we can highlight Aglaonice of Thessaly, an astronomer; Agnodica of Athens, an important gynaecologist; Aspasia of Miletus, philosopher, logographer and teacher of rhetoric; Artemisia II of Caria, a specialist in herbs, and her namesake Artemisia I, also queen of Caria and captain of a fleet, among others. Pythias married Aristotle and probably collaborated with him on embryological studies and the creation of an encyclopaedia.
Ressenya
Pythias is supposed to have worked with her husband, Aristotle, on an encyclopaedia from the material they collected during their honeymoon in Mytilene. He made a large collection of living specimens. Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead suggests that the couple collaborated in the study of embryology. They probably contributed to the collection of data that would later be reflected in the History of Animals written by Aristotle in 343 BC.

Biografia
Niece, sister or adopted daughter of Hermias of Atarnaeus, she was Aristotle's first wife. She worked with him on an encyclopaedia from material they collected during their honeymoon in Mytilene. She made a large collection of living specimens. Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead suggests that the couple collaborated in the study of embryology. Pythias must have contributed by collecting data that would later be reflected in the History of Animals, written by Aristotle in 343 BC. His date of birth is uncertain, but most of his work took place around 330 BC, and he died in Athens around 326 BC. Aristotle probably married Pythias during his stay in Aso between 347 BC and 345-4 BC. Pythias and Aristotle had a daughter, Pythias the Younger, before 337 BC, who, like her mother, was interested in the sciences. Aristotle in his will asked to be buried next to her.

Instruccions per fer cerques
Women's Legacy et permet trobar allò que estàs buscant. T'expliquem a continuació com fer-ho.
Cerca a tots els camps de text: El que escriviu en aquest camp es cercarà en tots els camps de text, en totes les categories. Pots escriure una única paraula, o cercar una frase completa si l'escrius entre cometes. També et permet encadenar diferents paraules utilitzant AND o OR, per exemple pots buscar "família aristocràtica" AND "poeta" i els resultats hauran de contenir les dues paraules o "família aristocràtica" OR "poeta" i aleshores que en continguin una, ja sortiran a la llista de resultats.
Cerca per jerarquies: Trobaràs diferents jerarquies que podràs desplegar prement sobre elles, podràs seleccionar el nivell o nivells de la jerarquia que vulguis, els elements seleccionats es buscaran utilitzant un criteri OR, és a dir, que compleixin un ja sortirà a la llista de resultats.
Cerca per textos: Trobaràs diferents camps de text que apliquen a les diferents categories, les regles d'ús són les mateixes que s'utilitzen al punt 1, però en aquest cas estàs buscant en un camp en concret, no a tots alhora, és a dir, per exemple, pots buscar "família aristòcrata russa", només al camp Biografia d'un personatge.
Unió dels filtres de selecció: També a la part superior trobaràs un selector on establiràs el criteri d'ordenació de la sortida.
