| 释义 |
Melissa (3rd century BC)[1][2] was a Pythagorean philosopher. Her name derives from the Greek word melli meaning honey. Nothing is known about her life. She is known only from a letter written to another woman named Cleareta (or Clearete). The letter is written in a Doric Greek dialect dated to around the 3rd century BC.[2] The letter discusses the need for a wife to be modest and virtuous, and stresses that she should obey her husband.[2] The content has led to the suggestion that it was written pseudonymously by a man.[2] On the other hand, the author of the letter does not suggest that a woman is naturally inferior or weak, or that she needs a man's rule to be virtuous.[1] References1. ^1 {{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZH-iOIWEVVEC&printsec=frontcover|title=The concept of woman: the Aristotelian revolution, 750 BC–AD 1250|author=Prudence Allen|first=|publisher=|year=|isbn=|location=|page=150|pages=}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uYGay_yqBLUC&printsec=frontcover |title=Women Writers of Ancient Greece and Rome: An Anthology |year=2004 |author=Ian Plant |publisher=Equinox |isbn=1904768024 |page=83}} 4 : Pythagoreans|Ancient Greek women philosophers|3rd-century BC philosophers|Hellenistic-era philosophers |
