marriage

Socrates: 469 BC - 399 BC

from https://iep.utm.edu/socrates/

Socrates was married to Xanthippe, and according to some sources, had a second wife. 

Most suggest that he first married Xanthippe, and that she gave birth to his first son, Lamprocles.  He is alleged to have married his second wife, Myrto, without dowry, and she gave birth to his other two sons, Sophroniscus and Menexenus.
