eisodoi (εἴσοδοι) : AYS-oh-doy

(Greek; sing. eisodos: passageways leading to the orchestra between the koilon and the skēnē). Eisodoi was the name used by Aristophanes for the parodoi. The two names are often interchanged. In some plays, the left (eastern) eisodos lead to the country whereas the right (western) passageway was the route to the city.
