This paper addresses the very limited attention that Philostratus pays to women in his Lives of the Sophists and their predominantly negative portrayal when mentioned. Many women introduced in the Lives are schemers who bring disgrace upon a sophist. Sophists’ female relatives rarely figure and are almost never named, and epigraphic evidence shows Philostratus failing to note their high status even when relevant to his assessment of a sophist. The sophist who also wrote eight books on the a-sexual ascetic Apollonius of Tyana had a very different idea of women’ s place in the world of culture from such philosophers as Plutarch.Cet article analyse l’intérêt très limité que Philostrate porte aux femmes dans ses Vies des sophistes ainsi que la ...
