Abstract
: The term Sodom has been used to describe a particular type of sexual practices. This paper discusses the reception of the term within the Protrepticus of Clement of Alexandria. The passage of Prot . 103.4 is analyzed from a synchronic methodological approach, to conclude that there are no indications of a sexual stereotype in the interpretation of Sodom. Instead, there are other predominant thematic motifs such as criticism of custom, idolatry and hardening of heart. This is to make clear that not all interpretations of Sodom in ancient Christianity suggest a sexual stigmatization.
