Parodos

In theatro Graeco antiquo tam intragoediisquam incomoediisparodos(Graece πάροδος fem.,'introitus') est primus cantus achorocantatus tum cumorchestramintrat.Nam chorus postprologumintrare solebat, quamquam in nonnullis fabulis iam ab initio adest ut inSupplicibusEuripideiset apud Aeschylum inPersisetSupplicibus.Parodosstrophisetantistrophisconstabat quibus nonnumquam epodia accedebant. Longissima esse poterat ut inAeschyleoAgamemnone(223 versus), saepe tamen multo brevior erat ut inEuripideoHercule furente(30 versus). Nonnumquam personae ex scaena alternis cantibus choro in orchestra respondebant (quod genuskommosappellatur)ː ita apud Euripidem inElectraetOresteetIphigenia in Tauris.Cantus sequentesstasimavocantur quia chorus locum non mutat sed in orchestra remanet.

Hoc idem verbum et portam theatri qua chorus intrabat designare solebat.
