Zanthippe and Socrates in a Front Page Tone
A lively essay questions the portrayal of Zanthippe in the second edition of Zanthippe comparing Socrates to a noble husband and the scolding wife. The writer pities Zanthippe yet questions whether enlightenment and kindness could soften her, ending with a reflection on patience and the Prince of Peace. The piece closes with a brief late 19th century note from De Pere, November 1, 1874, and a short observation on the futility of endless war.
