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.
Reseña
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.

Biografía
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.
