Doors and Perspective inChoe

View through CrossRef
There is evidently no skene in the early plays of Aeschylus and the locale changes easily. But in theOresteia(and afterwards) a skene fixes the locale, though only for what happens on the stage. InAg.it represents an outer wall. InChoe.it is not at first in the arena of action and so not in the path of vision, but it represents the wall by 584 when Electra enters the house, or at least by 653 when Orestes shouts to a doorkeeper. InEum.1–234 the skene represents (unless I am mistaken) an inner wall; the stage is an interior; and when Apollo enters from the far side at 179 (to our surprise), he seems to be coming from the adyton. The orchestra is still a locale unbounded as it was before. The tomb of Agamemnon inChoe.1–651 is thought an indefinite distance from the house, not merely a lion's leap away. A temple of Athene becomes the Pnyx atEum.566 and then the hill of Ares at 685.
