| Resumo: | Mostly scholars assume that Philo has a positive view of the female members of the community at Lake Mareotis which he descriptionbes in his 'De Vita Contemplativa'. This article questions this from the perspective of Philo's attitude to 'pretty slave boys' used for sexual purposes, to whom he ascribes the 'female disease'. Philo was forced to accommodate the Therapeutrides even though he did not approve of their presence in the community as such. |
