From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicarete of Megara (Greek: Νικαρέτη) was a philosopher of the Megarian school of philosophy, who lived c. 300 BC. She is stated by Athenaeus to have been of good family and education, and to have been a disciple of Stilpo.[1] Diogenes Laërtius states that she was Stilpo's mistress, though he had a wife.[2]
