Perictione

Perictione

Perictione, or Periktíone, was the Greek mother of Plato. She was a descendant of Solon, the Athenian lawgiver. She was married to Ariston, and had three sons — Glaucon, Adeimantus, and Plato — and a daughter, Potone. After Ariston's death, she remarried Pyrilampes, a friend of the Athenian statesman, with whom she had a fifth child, the Antiphon who recites the "Parmenides".
