Late Pythagoreans: Aesata of Lucania, Phintys of Sparta, and Perictione I

Abstract

Aesara of Lucania, Phintys of Sparta and Perictione I can be distinguished from the early Pythagorean women who were members of Pythagoras' family and the original Pythagorean cults. The late Pythagoreans probably lived no earlier than circa 425 B.C. and some possibly as late as circa 100 A.D.
