Timarete

Τιμαρέτη

(Τιμαρέτη), a female painter, the daughter of that Micon, whom Pliny distinguishes from the celebrated painter Micon, by the epithet of minor (H. N. 35.9. s. 35). Pliny also tells us that she painted a panel-picture of Diana, in a very ancient style of the art (antiquissimae picturae), which was preserved at Ephesus. (H. N. 35.11. s. 40.43.)
