(470-410 BCE) The mistress of Perikles (Pericles).
Aspasia was of humble birth and became Perikles’ mistress after he left his first wife; she was a woman of wit and intelligence who could converse with politicians and philosophers with ease.
Aspasia and Perikles had one son, also named Perikles, who was “legitimized” after the death of Perikles’ “legitimate” sons during the plague that decimated the population of Attika (Attica) circa 425 BCE.
