Aspasia was an ancient Greek medical writer known only from book 16 of Aetius of Amida's Tetrabiblion.
[2] John Scarborough suggests that Aspasia was a contemporary of Aetius and an expert in gynaeology and obstetrics.
[3] Steven Muir and Laurence Totelin suggest that the name, evoking Pericles' lover, might have been chosen to lend authority to obstetric and gynacological material.
He further notes that male medical writers with medically-related names, such as Asclepius or Asclepiades, do not have their existence questioned on this basis.
