Note 52 — Chapter V · ATHENIAN WOMEN.
Reading edition
Chronological difficulties have been suggested in the way of this statement being true (see especially a beautiful monograph on Aspasia, ‘Aspasie de Milet,’ par L. Becq de Fouquières, p. 342), but I do not think that the difficulties are insuperable. Müller-Strübing (Aristophanes, p. 585) has found an allusion to this connexion with Lysicles in Aristophanes with greater ingenuity than success.
