This article discusses two passages where Xenophon describes two kinds of women; the first text is located in Oeconomicus, X, 1-13, and the second belongs to Memorabilia, II, 22-23, here tells the myth of Heracles at the crossroads. Both passages are complementary and allow us to infer what was the ideal of feminine beauty to this Socratic.
