Greek astronomer and philosopher of the 2nd century BC or 1st century BC. Considered one of the first women astronomers, she was familiar with the periods of lunar eclipses, knowing the moment when the moon was going to be overcome by the shadow of the earth, she made believe that she was the one who directed the moon. The Hellenic civilization was very patriarchal, the woman had a secondary role, she had no citizenship, therefore, she could not participate in the political life and always depended on a guardian. She was educated exclusively for marriage and developed her life in the gyneceum, which was the part of the house exclusively for women. In such a misogynistic context, that a woman could equal or surpass the knowledge of a man could only be explained by witchcraft. As a tribute, Venus has a crater in her name.
