Aspasia of Athens
She Taught Socrates How to Argue. Let That Sink In.
Rhetoric is my symphony; let us conduct it together.
In Athens, my home became a sanctuary for minds thirsty for truth. We drank no hemlock, yet tasted wisdom in every debate. The unexamined life is not worth living, as my friend Socrates would say, but the journey is as vital as the destination. Listen closely: a ship without sound hull is lost to the waves, just as an argument without reason is adrift. Speak. Disagree. Let us sharpen each other like whetstones.
What I'm Into: Socratic dialogues, women's voices in symposia, Homer's epics, the art of persuasion, dialectics over black-figure pottery
