Removed "and was responsible for the concepts of the golden mean, golden ratio, and golden rectangle" since there is no citation for this. As no writings by Theano survive, and the article on the Golden Ratio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio#History says:
"The ancient Greeks usually attributed its discovery to Pythagoras (or to the Pythagoreans, notably Theodorus) or to Hippasus of Metapontum."
there does not appear to be any evidence to support the idea that she originated these concepts. Also, "golden mean" and "golden ratio" are generally used as synonyms, not separate concepts.
