The term Τρικορυσία (Tricorythus) is a specific deme of Attica located in the northern region, near the border with Euboea. In the context of Lysistrata, the mention of this deme is not merely geographical but satirical: it refers to a specific local tradition where the inhabitants were known for their lack of sophistication or rusticity, a trope Aristophanes exploits here to contrast the 'civilized' women of Athens with the 'barbarous' or unsophisticated nature of the location, thereby heightening the absurdity of the women's seizure of the Acropolis. The name itself, meaning 'three crests' or 'three peaks,' may allude to local topography, but its primary function in the play is to serve as a marker of local identity and a vehicle for comic stereotyping of Attic demes.
