Something wrong?A philosopher from the 6th century BC whose writings circulated under her name in the ancient world, though every text attributed to her is now considered a forgery. The attention comes from a void: was she Pythagoras's wife, his student, or someone else's spouse entirely?

Theano moved through the Pythagorean circle in the 6th century BC, her exact origins lost - the identity of her father unknown, her birthplace uncertain. Ancient sources disagreed on whether she studied under Pythagoras or married him, while others named her the wife of Brontinus instead. Letters and fragments of philosophical treatises bore her name in antiquity, enough to establish her as a figure worth invoking. Modern scholars have judged all of them spurious, leaving her as a name that once carried weight in a tradition that needed her to have written.
