She was Socrates teacher, and that fact say it all even she was left out of history.

I admire the effort but this video is really repetitive and lacks substance. There is no mention that Aspasia was the mother of Pericles' son, Pericles the Younger, nor is there any mention of Pericles divorce from his first wife. At just under an hour long, the video would have benefitted from such facts as these rather than the repetition of the same information over and over again, most of which was just supposition. No sources were mentioned and it would have benefitted viewers/listeners to know what was actually said about her in Aristophanes' comedies, etc.
