# Themista of Lampsacus

> Themista of Lampsacus, the wife of Leonteus, was a student of Epicurus, early in the 3rd century BC. Epicurus' school was unusual in the 3rd century, in that it welcomed women to attend, and we also hear of Leontion attending Epicurus' school around the same time. Cicero ridicules Epicurus for writing "countless volumes in praise of Themista," instead of men he deemed more worthy, such as Miltiades, Themistocles or Epaminondas. Themista and Leonteus named their son Epicurus.

*Ancient Greek philosopher*
