MARX, H., Sosipatra of Pergamum. Philosopher and Oracle. Oxford University Press, 2021. 148p. Paperback. Series: Women in Antiquity. Sosipatra is educated by mysterious strangers. Widowed early, mother of three sons, she is a teacher and a seer. Can we believe the short account in Eunapius? Marx locates Sosipatra in her social context as an elite woman of the later fourth century, and in her intellectual and religious context as a philosopher endowed with spiritual powers.
