Pythias (Πυθιάς) was the niece (or adopted daughter) of the philosopher Hermias of Atarneus — **the beloved wife of Aristotle** and mother of his daughter (also named Pythias). When she died young, Aristotle requested that his bones be interred with hers, a wish honored by his executor Antipater.

Pythias reduces to seven — the number of Aristotle's beloved.
