Abrotelia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abrotelia (Ancient Greek: Αβροτέλεια) (fl. 5th century BC) was a female Pythagorean philosopher from Tarentum, Magna Graecia.[1][2] She was one of seventeen women[3][4] included in the Life of Pythagoras written by Iamblichus as part of his treatise On Pythagoreanism.[5][6]

Ethel Kersey has suggested that Abrotelia wrote or taught in traditional philosophical fields such as metaphysics, logic, and aesthetics.[7][8]
