Observations and context

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.
