Calonice

Calonice (also called Cleonice) is a friend of Lysistrata, but she is at first reluctant to make the sacrifices that Lysistrata asks.

The chorus of old men leads an assault on the Acropolis. They try to burn the women out by setting fire to the base of the building.

The old men are offended by the women's desire to control the treasury, but they are ineffective against the strength of the women.
