Olympias of Thebes was a Greek midwife who lived in the first century B.C.E.
[1] She was distinguished among the ancient Greeks for her medical writings and medical ability.
[2][3] Pliny wrote that Olympias stated that mallows "with goose grease ... cause abortion" and that she could cure a type "of barrenness.
by bull's gall, serpents' fat, copper rust and honey, rubbed on the parts before intercourse".
[1] It is also likely that Dioscorides knew about her work.
