In psychology research literature, the term child prodigy is defined as a person under the age of ten who produces meaningful output in some domain to the level of an adult expert performer.[1][2][3] Child prodigies are rare, and in some domains, there are no child prodigies at all. Prodigiousness in childhood does not always predict adult eminence. The persons listed here have come to the haphazard attention of history or current news and probably do not represent the typical experience of a child prodigy.

Legendary

This list consists of historic children, who have become representatives of the "prodigy" phenomenon, inspiring literature, but whose actual accomplishments have not been firmly established due to the poor sourcing or records of their eras.

  • Gaon of Vilna was a historically significant rabbi who was called a prodigy in youth and who is said to have had a variety of skills by the age of 11 years.[213]
  • Christian Heinrich Heineken (1721–1725) was a prodigy who could speak from an early age. By the time of his death was well-versed in mathematics, history and geography. He could speak Latin and French in addition to his native tongue.
  • Okita Sōji (1842 or 1844–1868) was kenjutsu-(swordsmanship) prodigy, who defeated a kenjutsu master by the age of 12 years, became a master of kenjutsu and a school head (Jukutou) by the age of 18 years. He died from tuberculosis in his mid-twenties.
  • Arsinoe IV, Queen of Egypt, defeated Julius Caesar at the Battle of the Pharos in 48 BC, at the age of 11. Originally thought to have been in her late teens, her tomb at Ephesus was identified in the early 20th century and her remains were found to be those of a 17 year old. However she died 6 years after her victory over Caesar. He exchanged his prisoner, Ptolemy XIII, for her because he knew that she was exercising her own authority and that the military tactics were hers. Prior to the battle she had already trapped Caesar in a section of Alexandria by building walls across the city streets, and ordered the digging of canals to allow the sea to flow into the Romans' water supply, reducing his troops to despair from thirst . This compelled Caesar to break out, and make his disastrous stand against her.[214][215]
