Abstract
In Praxagora’s opening monologue in Ecclesiazusae the lamp is praised as the only trustworthy companion in women’s secret activities. It is customarily agreed upon that in lines 7-11 the merit of the lamp is helping women commit adultery. However, multiple reasons make this inter- pretation quite unlikely, and therefore this paper aims at providing a different exegesis, namely that the lamp is praised as it helps female autoeroticism.
