Myrto Vitart
Myrto (; el, Μυρτώ; fl. 5th century BC) was, according to some accounts, a wife of Socrates. Sources The original source for the claim that she was Socrates' wife appears to have been a work by Aristotle called ''On Being Well-Born'',Athenaeus, xiii. 555D–556APlutarch, ''Aristides'', xxvii. 3–4Diogenes Laërtius, ii. 26 although Plutarch expresses doubt that the work is genuine. She was apparently the daughter, or, more probably, the granddaughter of Aristides. A different account of Xanthippe and Myrto is given in Aristoxenus's ''Life of Socrates'' written in the latter part of the fourth century BC that Aristoxenus asserts is based on first-person accounts by his father.

Although Diogenes Laërtius describes Myrto as Socrates' second wife living alongside Xanthippe, Myrto was presumably a common-law wife,Luis E. Navia (1985), ''Socrates, the man and his philosoph ...
