Diotima of Mantinea

Diotima of Mantinea
A priestess whose teaching on the subjects of beauty and love is reported by Socrates in the Symposium . The historicity of Diotima has usually been doubted, although there are what appear to be bronze bas-relief representations of her dating from the 4th century BC, and her key doctrines differ tellingly from those of Plato.
