Diotima
Diotima of Mantinea was a philosopher and
priestess circa 440 B.C.E. who plays an important role in Plato's Symposium.
Her ideas are the origin of the concept of Platonic love.
The name Diotima means Zeus Honor, either in
the active sense of a woman who honors Zeus, or in the passive sense of a woman
honored by Zeus.
