(on the left) and guests (on the right); from the portals in the
wings, natives of the country (on the left) and strangers (on the
right). The conventional entrances from the wings arose from the
fact that the spectators in the Dionysiac theatre, on the Acropolis,
saw beyond the stage on the one side the white houses of Athens and
on the other the plains of Attica: and so to them the actors coming
from the Athenian side were their own people, while those entering
from the side toward Attica were strangers. In the modern French
theatre the "court" and "garden" entrances still preserve this
ancient tradition.
