About Elpinice

Elpinice was a noblewoman of classical Athens. She is known from Plutarch's Life of Cimon, as well as Life of Pericles where she appears twice in political confrontations with the Athenian statesman. Part of the Cimonids, she is recorded as having repeatedly defended and aided her brother Cimon in Plutarch's work. She appears to have faced scrutiny for her behavior as a woman in Athenian society, as Plutarch says people described her as "not very decorous" and Pericles rebuked her actions as an older woman.
