Description
English: The anecdote about Euclid of Megara dressing as woman to sneak into Athens can be found in the writings of Aulus Gellius. Note that in the 17th century it was thought that Euclid of Megara was the same figure as Euclid the mathematician, which explains the mathematical objects on the table, and no doubt explains Marolì's desire to illustrate a scene from the life of this relatively obscure philosopher.
