A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

3. A woman of Megara. Athenaeus states her

to have been of good family and education, and to have been a disciple of Stilpo, a dialectic philosopher, who was alive B. C. 299. Diogenes Laertius states that she was Stilpo's mistress, though he had a wife. (Athen. 13.596e; D. L. 2.114.) Fabricius Bibl. Graec. vol. iii. p. 628) states, on the authority of Laertius, that Nicarete was the mother-in-law of Simmias, a Syracusan. Laertius, however, only I. c.) mentions Stilpo's daughter as the wife of Simmias, but gives no hint as to who was her mother.
