Question

3. Why was Agnodice's life spared?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ianthe had struggled most severely in childbirth, her life nearly forfeit, she breathed her dying breaths in refusal of a man's aid. Her husband had called upon four physicians in his desperation to save her during labor, but she had turned them all away.18

Answer 2

Answer:

Agnodice was put on trial for violating the law banning female physicians, a crime that carried the death penalty. A mob of female supporters rallied to her defense and Athenian leaders were so moved that they not only spared Agnodice's life, they changed the law so that female physicians could treat female patients.
