Lastheneia
(
*Lasqe/neia), a native of Mantineia, in Arcadia, mentioned by Iamblichus (
Vit. Pyth. 36) as a follower of Pythagoras. Diogenes Laertius (3.46, 4.2), on the other hand, speaks of her as a disciple of the Platonic philosophy, which is confirmed by other authorities. (Clemens Alex.
Strom. iv. p. 619;
Athen. 12.546, vii. p. 279.)
