- Ἢ τὰν ἢ ἐπὶ τᾶς
("With it, or on it.")
Inspiration
Lampito originated in the play Lysistrata by Aristophanes:
Greek
Λυσιστράτη
ὦ φιλτάτη Λάκαινα χαῖρε Λαμπιτοῖ.
οἷον τὸ κάλλος γλυκυτάτη σου φαίνεται.
ὡς δ᾽ εὐχροεῖς, ὡς δὲ σφριγᾷ τὸ σῶμά σου.
κἂν ταῦρον ἄγχοις.
Λαμπιτῶ
μάλα γ᾽ οἰῶ ναὶ τὼ σιώ·
γυμνάδδομαι γὰρ καὶ ποτὶ πυγὰν ἅλλομαι.
Καλονίκη
ὡς δὴ καλὸν τὸ χρῆμα τιτθίων ἔχεις.
Λαμπιτῶ
περ ἱερεῖόν τοί μ᾽ ὑποψαλάσσετε.
English
LYSISTRATA Yes, that is best.... Ah! here comes Lampito. (LAMPITO, a husky Spartan damsel, enters with three others, two from Boeotia and one from Corinth.) Good day, Lampito, dear friend from Lacedaemon. How well and handsome you look! what a rosy complexion! and how strong you seem; why, you could strangle a bull surely!
LAMPITO Yes, indeed, I really think I could. It's because I do gymnastics and practise the bottom-kicking dance.
CLEONICE (opening LAMPITO'S robe and baring her bosom) And what superb breasts!
LAMPITO La! you are feeling me as if I were a beast for sacrifice.
