Tractatus de mulieribus
Tractatus De Mulieribus Claris In Bello is a short ancient Greek work by an anonymous author,[1] which discusses fourteen famous ancient women,[2] of whom one is not otherwise attested.[3] Despite the title, not all of the women discussed are warriors, and only a few are portrayed as skilled military strategists.[4] It was written near the end of the second or the beginning of the first century BCE.[5] Deborah Gera has suggested, however, that it was written by Pamphile of Epidaurus during the 1st century AD.[6] It is a list of individual ancient women, and contains the following individuals:[7]
- Semiramis
- Zarinaea
- Nitocris the Egyptian
- Nitocris the Babylonian
- Argeia
- Dido
- Atossa
- Rhodogune of Parthia
- Lyde
- Pheretime
- Thargelia
- Tomyris
- Artemisia I of Caria
- Onomaris
