Myrto
Myrto - after Xanthippe - the second wife of the Greek philosopher Socrates ( 469-399 BC).
After Socrates had married about 50 years Xanthippe that is the epitome of contentious and possessive wife today, he took Myrto, an impoverished widow, into his home. Maybe she was a daughter (or granddaughter ) of the known Athenian politician and statesman Aristides, Socrates friends with his family.
According to some sources, Socrates was his second marriage especially why one because the population of Athens had dropped dramatically by numerous wars and he wanted to make in this manner for additional offspring. In fact, Xanthippe gave him the son Lamprokles while to the sons Sophroniscus and Menexenos of Myrto come. Maybe he was committed but also for social reasons, the destitute woman, with their relatives Lysimachus he was a friend to take in the difficult times of war into his household.
Since Myrto - According to later stories - is said to have lived constantly in dispute with Xanthippe, Socrates should have preferred to stay much outside the home on the streets and squares of Athens, where he could engage his fellow citizens in philosophical discussions. When asked how he manage to endure the strife of women, he replied that it would be useful to live, because it's like taming wild horses; one is better equipped when facing kick the other in the Agora.
The existence of Myrtos is in some ancient sources, including testified at Demetrius, but is also disputed and indeed already by ancient authors such as Panaetius.
