Abstract
Two problems are raised by commentators on these lines: Menelaus is referred to as Helen’s amans, when he is her husband, and it is unclear whether the limina (525) belong to the thalamus of Deiphobus and Helen or to the house. These are solved if we see here a sarcastic allusion to the komos. Deiphobus casts Menelaus in the role of the admissus amans and himself as the cuckolded husband, and the limina accordingly belong to the house.
