<strong>THE</strong>ATRON OR KOILON Klimakes Kerkis
xvi General Introduction a semi-circular, curved bank of seats, resembling in some respects the closed end of a horseshoe stadium. He has climbed up the steps (klimakes) to reach his seat, which is in a section (kerkis). Probably he has in the process walked along the level aisle (diazoma) which divides the lower and the upper parts of the theatron. Below him, in the best location in the theatre, is the throne of the priest of Dionysus, 1 who presides in a sense over the whole performance, which, as we shall see later, is essentially religious in character. The theatron is large—in fact, the one in Athens, in the Theatre of Dionysus, with its seats banked up on the south slope of the Acropolis, seated approximately 17,000 persons. The spectator sees before him a level circular area called the orchestra, which means literally the "dancing place" (deriving from the Greek verb, to dance). In the centre of the orchestra stands an altar, which figures frequently as a stage-property in a number of the plays. A part of the dramatic action will take place in the orchestra, as well as the manoeuvres and dance figures performed by the Chorus as they present their odes. To the right and left of the theatron are the parodoi, which are used not only by the spectators for entering and leaving the theatre, but also for the entrances and exits of actors and the Chorus. Directly beyond the circular orchestra lies the skene or scene building. 2 At first, and probably during the balance of the fifth century B.C. the skene was a wooden structure, which later gave way to a permanent stone building, after its form became sufficiently stabilized. In most plays the skene represents the fagade of a house, a palace, or a temple. Various devices 8 were developed from time to time which made it possible to denote to the audience the nature of the building or general background which the skene was supposed to represent. By the use of these devices likewise changes of scene could be effected in the relatively few instances in the plays which demand such treatment. The skene normally had three doors which served as additional entrances and exits for the actors. Immediately in front of the scene-building was a level platform, in the fifth century B.C. in all probability only a single step above the level of the orchestra. This was called the proskenion or 1 Cf. Aristophanes, The Frogs, line 294, where the poet has his character, Dionysus, rush over to address the priest. 2 In some of the earliest plays this was probably not used at all. Cf. the frontispiece to Volume I. 3 The exact nature of these devices is very difficult to determine. They may have been painted panels, which were movable. In the later theatres there were periakti, or revolving prisms, set in the wall of the skene. Each of the three sides of the periaktus was painted differently. By turning them about, a change of scene could easily be indicated.
