"Xantippe was the lady who was wed to Socrates—" - Wilbur D. Nesbit; XANTIPPE... https://rainydaypoems.com/poems-for-...lbur-d-nesbit/

Lol! Wonderful poem. But I think it is all a defamation of poor old Xanty. The truth: Socrates spend the days with his numerous male friends, discussing high philosophy with them. When he noticed Xantippe at all it was to tell her: Put more water on the beans, we will have the whole gang for lunch today. At night he was so tired that he always fell instantly asleep, leaving his wife looking at the ceiling and pondering about the (dis) grace of being married.
