EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures the infamous philosopher Socrates alongside his equally notorious wife, Xanthippe. Known for her fiery temperament and sharp tongue, Xanthippe was often referred to as a shrew in ancient Greece. Despite their tumultuous relationship, Socrates and Xanthippe were a prominent couple in Athenian society during the 5th century BC.
In this image, we see Socrates engaged in deep thought while Xanthippe gazes at him with a mixture of frustration and admiration. The contrast between their expressions highlights the complexity of their dynamic - one that has been debated by historians for centuries.
Socrates, known for his wisdom and philosophical teachings, is depicted here as a stoic figure next to his spirited wife. Their relationship serves as a reminder that even great minds are not immune to domestic discord.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured this moment in history with remarkable detail, allowing us to glimpse into the lives of these two intriguing figures from antiquity. This print is not just a depiction of Socrates and Xanthippe but also an exploration of power dynamics within relationships and the complexities of human nature itself.
