Aglaonike

Ancient Greek astronomer, daughter of Hegetor · Scientists

Aglaonice was an ancient Thessalian witch, known from a scholion on the Argonautica and two references in Plutarch's Moralia. She was the daughter of Hegetor or Hegemon. Her date is uncertain, but she may have been active some time between the mid-third century BC and the late-first century AD.

Aglaonike is read about 36 times a day, in 38 languages.

About this person

However, Richard Stothers suggests that Aglaonice might have been mythical, or a pre-fifth century figure about whom legends had developed by the time of Plutarch.
