Other editions of book Just Myrto

Marrying Socrates launches Myrto, granddaughter of Aristides the Just, on a journey through Ancient Greek metaphysics to discover the wonder of being Just Myrto."I was born into a world where life itself depends upon man's pleasure and woman's pain. I am doubly cursed to be both mortal and female." When Myrto's father dies leaving no dowry for her to marry, Myrto wonders whether her brother will find her a husband or sell her into slavery. In Ancient Greece it is better to have a kind master than a cruel husband. At eighteen, Myrto finds a kind husband in Socrates. Will Myrto also find herself and choose her own destiny through her relationship with Socrates?
