Title: Diotima of Mantinea
Content:  Diotima of Mantinea (Διοτίμα; Diotīma) is the name or pseudonym of an ancient Greek woman or fictional figure in Plato's Symposium, indicated as having lived circa 440 B.C. Her ideas and doctrine of Eros as reported by Socrates in the dialogue are the origin of the concept of Platonic love.
Title: Diotima of Mantinea
Content:  The name Diotima means one who honors or is honored by Zeus, and her descriptor as "Mantinikê" (Mantinean) seems designed to draw attention to the word "mantis", which suggests an association with prophecy. However, she is not described or depicted as a priestess or prophetess, but simply as a 'clever woman' and a 'non-Athenian'(xenê). Since the adjective includes the word nikê, "Diotima Mantinikê" has been heard as a pun in Greek indicating "Diotima prophet of victory". (If Plato intended this as a clue to her true identity, the name may disguise a person who was a supporter of Athens' successful military ventures in the age of

In one manuscript her description was mistranscribed mantikê ('mantic woman' or seeress) rather than Mantinikê, which may be at the root of her persistent misrepresentation as a "priestess". Since there is no evidence for 'Diotima' outside Plato's Symposium, it has been doubted whether she was a real historical personage rather than a fictional creation. However, many of (though not all, see below regarding 'Callicles') the characters named in Plato's dialogues correspond to real people living in ancient 
Title: 423 Diotima
Content:  Diotima is named for Diotima of Mantinea, a priestess who was one of Socrates's teachers. It is one of seven of Charlois's discoveries that was expressly named by the Astromomisches Rechen-Institut (Astronomical Calculation Institute). The name is stressed on the penultimate syllable,, as in Latin Diotīma.
Title: Diotima of Mantinea
Content:  Beginning in the 20th century, the dehistoricization of Diotima became a subject of interest for several scholars, including Mary Ellen Waithe. In 2005, Margaret Urban Walker summarized Waithe's research, stating that "the evidence for Diotima's reality is substantial, even if not conclusive, and that her imaginary status appears to be a fifteenth-century fiction that stuck." In 2010, Australian novelist Gary Corby published The Pericles Commission, the first in a series of mystery novels taking place in ancient Athens. Diotima is a major recurring character, the love interest, assistant sleuth, and eventually wife of Corby's protagonist, Nicolaos. Corby's Diotima is a priestess of Artemis who was born the illegitimate daughter of a hetaira and an 
Title: Diotima (magazine)
Content:   Diotima (Greek: Διοτίμα) is a Greek cultural and social magazine published in Tripoli of Arcadia, Greece. It is named after the ancient priestess Diotima, coming from Mantineia of Arcadia and mentioned by Plato in his Symposium as being the tutor of the young Socrates in the 'art of love'. It deals with historical, art, scientific and philosophical matters. Diotima is published by Αρκαδικές Εκδόσεις (Arcadian Editions) and the magazine is edited by Michael Mergupis and Dimitris Georgopoulos. The first issue was Spring 2005 since when four issues have been produced. The magazine is available to universities and various scientific institutions. It should not be confused with a homonym Greek magazine of previous decades.
Title: Diotima of Mantinea
Content:  Plato was thought by some 19th and early 20th century scholars to have based Diotima on Aspasia, the companion of Pericles who famously impressed him by her intelligence and eloquence, but they offered no evidence other than a general resemblance. Aspasia herself is a character in Plato's dialogue Menexenus, and it has been argued that Diotima could be an independent historical woman known for her intellectual accomplishments, though she is otherwise unattested. In the Symposium, Diotima expounds ideas that are different from both Socrates's and Plato's, though with clear connections to both. Socrates also claims to have learned from her on more than one occasion. These

Content:  Aspasia. Writings from the second through the fifth centuries A.D. refer to Diotima as a real person, although Plato is probably their only basis for this. A second century AD reference to Diotima can be found in the works of Lucian. The suggestion that she was a fictional creation was not introduced until the 15th century by Marsilio Ficino. This hypothesis recalls the practise of using fictional characters in other Platonic dialogues (for instance Callicles in the Gorgias), and draws on the fact that Diotima is not mentioned by any contemporary sources and because her name and origin could be understood as symbolic (see above).

Content:  have been used to argue for Diotima's independent existence; but more plausibly they may account for why Plato does not directly attribute "Diotima's doctrine of Love" either to Aspasia or to Socrates (her doctrine ends up as being evidently Platonic in relation to its introduction of Forms). In 2019 Armand D'Angour extracted new evidence from the text of Symposium to suggest that at least the main model for Diotima was Aspasia (even though the doctrines she expounds are more Plato's rather than Aspasia's): the connection of the name 'Diotima' (honored by Zeus) to Pericles (regularly called 'Zeus' in comedy, and famously said to have honored his 
Title: Diotima (typeface)
Content:  Diotima is a serif typeface designed by Gudrun Zapf-von Hesse and published by Stempel. Diotima has a relatively slender and wide design, light in colour and suitable for purposes such as decorative printing and headings rather than for body text. Aspects of the roman recall Roman square capitals such as those on the Column of Trajan, such as the 'M' with no upper serifs (it has serifs in italic). The italic lower-case is relatively calligraphic in design with a 'single-story' 'g'. The design is named for the philosopher Diotima of Mantinea, perhaps appropriately highlighting its status as one of the few typefaces designed by a woman up to this point.
