For example, as in Aeschines of Sphettos' dialogue, Socrates shows that Aspasia spoke with Xenophon's wife and Xenophon himself:

"Tell me, please, wife of Xenophon, if your neighbour had a better piece of gold jewelry than you, would you prefer hers or your own?"

"Hers," said the wife.

"So--if she should have a dress or other feminine ornament more expensive than you have, would you prefer hers or yours?"

"Hers, naturally," said the wife.

"So now: what if that woman had a better husband than you? Would you prefer hers or your own?"

Here the woman blushed. Aspasia, however, began to interrogate Xenophon himself.
