Myrto ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɜr|t|oʊ}}; {{lang-el|Μυρτώ}}; fl. 5th century BC) was, according to some accounts, a wife of Socrates. The original source for the claim that she was Socrates' wife appears to have been a work by Aristotle called On Being Well-Born,[1][2][3] although Plutarch expresses doubt that the work is genuine. She was apparently the daughter,[3] or, more probably, the granddaughter of Aristides.[2] Although Diogenes Laërtius describes Myrto as Socrates' second wife living alongside Xanthippe, Myrto was presumably a common-law wife,[4] and Plutarch describes Myrto as merely living "together with the sage Socrates, who had another woman but took up this one as she remained a widow due to her poverty and lacked the necessities of life."[2] Athenaeus and Diogenes Laërtius report that Hieronymus of Rhodes attempted to confirm the story by pointing to a temporary decree the Athenians passed: {{quote|For they say that the Athenians were short of men and, wishing to increase the population, passed a decree permitting a citizen to marry one Athenian woman and have children by another; and that Socrates accordingly did so.|Diogenes Laërtius, ii. 26}}Neither Plato nor Xenophon mention Myrto, and not everyone in ancient times believed the story: according to Athenaeus, Panaetius "refuted those who talk about the wives of Socrates."[1] Notes1. ^1 Athenaeus, xiii. 555D–556A {{Socrates navbox}}2. ^1 2 Plutarch, Aristides, xxvii. 3–4 3. ^1 Diogenes Laërtius, ii. 26 4. ^Luis E.
