Merge to Themistoclea

[edit]

I suggest merging this page to Themistoclea. As for example, "Gilles Ménage, (1984), The history of women philosophers" says: "The person who is referred to as Themistoclea in Laertius and Theoclea in Suidas, Porphyry calls Aristoclea." These are clearly 3 versions of the same name, reflecting some tradition that Pythagoras was taught by a Delphic priestess. Pasicles (talk) 19:08, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've decided to merge this content (which consisted of little more that a quotation from Porphyry) to Themistoclea. It's hard to be certain which name is likelier to be more correct, but "Themistoclea" is apparently the name which derives from Aristoxenus (4th century BCE), so I've decided that that name should take priority.
