'''Xantippe''' was the name of the wife of [[Socrates]], a woman of a peevish and shrewish disposition, the subject of exaggerated [[gossip]] in [[Athens]], to the exaltation of the temper of her husband, which it never ruffled. She is quaintly described by one old English writer as “a passing shrewde, curste, and wayward woman, wife to the pacient and wise philosopher [[Socrates]].”<ref>{{Nuttall|Xantippe}}</ref>
