Woman; Her Position and Influence in Ancient Greece and Rome, and Among the Early Christians

Note 47 — Chapter V · ATHENIAN WOMEN.

Reading edition

Some have affirmed Diotima to be a fiction of Plato (Mähly, ‘Die Frauen des Griechischen Alterthums,’ p. 14), but this supposition has been amply refuted: Stallbaum on the ‘Symposium,’ p. 201 D. Otto Jahn collects all the references to Diotima by ancient writers in his edition of the ‘Symposium.’
