Phaenarete
Sign in to savePhaenarete (Greek Φαιναρέτη, born ), wife of Sophroniscus, was the mother of the Greek philosopher Socrates and his half-brother, Patrocles. (Since Sophroniscus had died before 424 BC, he was probably Phaenarete's first husband, while Chaeredemus, father of Patrocles, was her second). Historian of philosophy Debra Nails puts Phaenarete's birthdate around 484 BC, as she must have been old enough to give birth to Socrates in 469 and yet young enough to give birth to Patrocles about 450. She was apparently alive at the time of the Euthydemus, which was set in or after 407.

Fenareta, Fenarete ou Fainarete (Grego: Φαιναρέτη, Phainarétē) foi a mãe do filósofo grego Sócrates e do meio-irmão, Pátrocles. Ela teve dois filhos com dois homens diferentes: Sócrates é seu filho com Sophroniscus e é seu filho com Chaeredemus. Pouco se sabe sobre a vida de Phaenarete. No diálogo platônico Teeteto, Sócrates compara seu trabalho de filósofo com o dela de parteira.
