Xanthippe (pronounced /zænˈθɪpi/; Greek: Ξανθίππη, 5th century–4th century BCE) was an ancient Athenian, the wife of Socrates and mother of their three sons: Lamprocles, Sophroniscus, and Menexenus. There are far more stories about her than there are facts. She was likely much younger than Socrates, perhaps by as much as forty years.
