Socrates and Xanthippe (280434)

Wikipedia description:
Xanthippe (; Ancient Greek: Ξανθίππη [ksantʰíppɛː]; fl. 5th–4th century BCE) was an ancient Athenian, the wife of Socrates and mother of their son Lamprocles; she may also have been the mother of his other sons Sophroniscus and Menexenus. She was likely much younger than Socrates, perhaps by around 30 years. In Xenophon's Symposium, she is described by Antisthenes as "the most difficult, harshest, painful, ill-tempered" wife; this characterisation of Xanthippe has influenced all subsequent portrayals of her.
