Talk:Aspasia the Physician

Untitled
I added additional info from two journals; however, there's extra medical info in these journals regarding her techniques that are beyond my scope. Athena0713 (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Why is Caesar labeled as an emperor
Caesar is referred to as a Roman emperor and this is a falsehood. He was never an emperor, that concept comes a few decades later. 192.234.15.80 (talk) 17:52, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That was added in this edit from December last year. It's hardly the only questionable thing about that edit, so I'm just going to revert wholesale to before that point; there have been no content edits since. For example:
 * "It wasn’t until Greek historian Xenophon (ca 430 BC to 354 BC), who helped create a piece of local legislation in Athens stating, that women should have the social role of protecting their family’s health": the given source just says that the legislation was introduced at the time of Xenophon, not that Xenophon helped create the legislation; at any rate the source cites Xenophon's Oeconomicus for this claim (without pointing to any specific part, annoyingly!) and I cannot find even the less strong claim supported by that source.
 * Several claims are sourced to an anonymous blogpost, which is in no way a reliable source
 * "Her method dealing with hydrocele mimics the typical hydrocelectomy in which the fluids are drained from the tunica vaginalis and is still an acceptable practice today": source doesn't mention Aspasia; claim is WP:SYNTH at best

 * I've now rewritten the article based on some actually reliable sources; I'm highly skeptical about basically everything written in the previous versions. Aside from what is currently cited in the article now, Holt Parker's "Women Doctors in Greece, Rome, and the Byzantine Empire" (1997) and "Galen and the Girls" (2012) might be useable.
