logeion : loh-GAY-on

(Greek; pl. logeia: a speaking place, a stage). A high stage used by actors in Hellenistic theatres. Located behind the orchestra and before the skênê. The front of the logeion (stage) was supported by the hyposkênion (front wall of the proskenion). The remains of a logeion can be found at Priene, Turkey. The remains of access ramps from the parodoi to the logeion can be found at Sicyon, Greece. Logeion corresponds to the shorter Roman stage (pulpitum).
