A name that means "lucanian pythagorean philosopher".

Aesara (Αἰσάρα, 3rd c. BCE?) was the Pythagorean philosopher of Lucania in southern Italy — author of On Human Nature, a treatise arguing that the human soul has three parts, mirroring the tripartite structure of the family and the just city. Anticipates Plato's tripartite soul.
