Headword: *tragikh\ skhnh/
Adler number: tau,891
Translated headword: tragic stage
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning a] scaffold raised from the ground, on which individuals styled as gods[1] used to stand and speak.
The tragedian's craft is also called [his] 'stage'.[2]
Greek Original:
*tragikh\ skhnh/: ph=gma mete/wron, e)f' ou(= e)n qew=n skhnh=| tines pario/ntes e)/legon. le/getai de\ kai\ h( tragikh\ te/xnh skhnh/.
Notes:
cf. generally sigma 569. The present headword phrase, in the nominative case, appears, similarly glossed, in Timaeus' Platonic Lexicon and other lexica; references at Photius tau407 Theodoridis. If (as seems reasonable to suppose) it is -- or stems from -- a quotation, a possible source is Xenophon, Cyropaedia 6.1.54 (genitive case). (Theodoridis cites Ruhnken's suggested link with Plato, Clitophon 407A, but the phrase used there is mhxanh=s tragikh=s.)
[1] Editors here routinely adopt Porson's emendation (in Photius) of the transmitted skhnh=| to skeuh=|.
[2] See generally LSJ s.v. skhnh/ II.4.
