Much has been written about Socrates but little is found about his wife beyond random comments about her sassy tongue & bad temper. Not since Mary Renault gave us THE KING MUST DIE & THE BULL FROM THE SEA has a novelist integrated story with such a fascinating period of history. Socrates, who alone would seem to defy fictionalization, takes on lively life here, while his young wife Xanthippe emerges as one of fiction's most engagingly complex heroines. The real Xanthippe deserved to be known & her Athens, besieged by the Spartans, is admirably researched & recreated in this fast-paced narrative. This exotic, often violent world, despite its remoteness in time, contains parallels to our own century. The mores differ, but the men & women, with their brutalities & lusts, their courage, idealism & endurance, are not far from us who are alive today. Author Eileen Ebert Smith after 12 years of research presents a captivating new view of Xanthippe & her place in Greek history. The book jacket itself invites you to this new novel not to be missed.

It was not Xanthippe's carrot colored sheath of hair, or her lissome way of walking, like a cat, nor even her devilish gift of mimicry that caused talk. What really set people's tongues wagging were her wild and crazy escapades. For one, she was often seen racing around the country-side on a horse! Granted her father was a renowned riding master, there are certain things that nice girls just don't do! She is still pining for her first love when her parents betroth her to Socrates, a controversial cult leader, who challenges long-held beliefs and takes orders from a 'Daemon'. Unfamiliar surroundings and the characters she meets following her marriage bring a mixture of laughter and rage, a new approach to an old affair, and some hitherto undiscovered strengths. Xanthippe wearies of her husband's ideologies, yet hears them until they become etched on her mind. A turning point in her life comes when she does battle with Zeus himself! Much has been and continues to be written about Socrates. On the other hand there is little to be found about his wife beyond random comments about her sassy tongue and bad temper. After twelve years of meticulous research and writing, author Eileen Ebert Smith presents a captivating new view of Xanthippe and her lace in Greek history. Jill, of Bang Printing, said it all in a note to the author: "Until working on your book, I was never at all interested in Greek history. Your introduction to the many characters involved makes it all come alive like never before." M. E. Robertson Palm Springs, CA 1994

The Xanthippe Fragments tells the story of a woman faced with her husband's imminent execution by the State. The year is 399 BCE, the woman Xanthippe, wife of Socrates. Cast into "fragments," the narrative spans roughly thirty days between Socrates' trial and death. Each day Xanthippe visits the shrine of Aphrodite on the Acropolis to receive succor and to leave a token of her affection. She then repairs home to care for her house and children, often chatting with her friend and neighbor Myrto. In the evening she takes a dish of greens to Socrates in prison. Or so the poet, Becky Gibson, imagines. What if Xanthippe were no shrew as her detractors insist but rather a devoted spouse, robust and intelligent, herself something of a talker -- a woman who speaks her mind? The Xanthippe of these pages goes about her daily routine as she must, perhaps out of duty, out of habit, out of the need to fend off despair. The Xanthippe Fragments is a love story, a quiet book in the voice of a woman who teaches herself how to survive.

The real Plato is revealed to us, by the women whom he banished from his arguments. In Plato's dialogues, an idealised Socrates expounds the ideas for which Plato will, until the end of history, be famous. The world of Forms; the ideal Republic with its totalitarian masterplan; the tribute to Eros, god of love (or at least of homosexual love); the promise of soul's salvation - all this has come down to us in the distinctive tone of Plato's teacher. But how much of it did Socrates believe? Were Plato's contemporaries really taken in? Who was Plato anyway? And what lay behind his philosophy, from which the real world of men and women was so rigorously excluded? Until the discovery of the Xanthippic Dialogues, we had no answers to those questions. Now the real Plato is revealed to us, by the women whom he banished from his arguments. In this brilliant and witty exposé, the mask of abstraction is lifted, to reveal the truth that lies beneath. And the truth is Xanthippe: wife of Socrates, teacher of Aristole, and Founding Mother of the Western world.

An innovative and insightful exploration of the passionate early life of Socrates and the influences that led him to become the first and greatest of philosophers Socrates: the philosopher whose questioning gave birth to the ideas of Western thought, and whose execution marked the end of the Athenian Golden Age. Yet despite his pre-eminence among the great thinkers of history, little of his life story is known. What we know tends to begin in his middle age and end with his trial and death. Our conception of Socrates has relied upon Plato and Xenophon – men who met him when he was in his fifties and a well-known figure in war-torn Athens. There is mystery at the heart of Socrates' story: what turned the young Socrates into a philosopher? What drove him to pursue with such persistence, at the cost of social acceptance and ultimately of his life, a whole new way of thinking about the meaning of existence? In this revisionist biography, Armand D'Angour draws on neglected sources to explore the passions and motivations of young Socrates, showing how love transformed him into the philosopher he was to become. What emerges is the figure of Socrates as never previously portrayed: a heroic warrior, an athletic wrestler and dancer – and a passionate lover. Socrates in Love sheds new light on the formative journey of the philosopher, finally revealing the identity of the woman who Socrates claimed inspired him to develop ideas that have captivated thinkers for 2,500 years.
