I Have Changed my Name!!

Yes, that's right, I'm now Aspasia, no longer the know-it-all Hermione. No, I'm now the know-it-all Aspasia . . . but that could change . . .

Can't you tell I'm bored? :lol:

Aspasia was Pericles's lover/wife . . . and Pericles was an Athenian ruler. Have you heard of 'Pericles's Funeral Oration'?

*goes to search more facts about her*

She was actually quite brilliant in her own right- she got herself involved in politics/philosophy when women at that time stayed far away from such things :)

Very cool history. We just studied Pericles, but it said nothing about Aspasia.
