grbs-4481	Rehm, Rush	The Staging of Suppliant Plays	1988	45	.pdf	application/pdf	24586	944	62	According to the generally accepted view, the altar at which suppliants in various plays made their entreaties is totally distinct from the ritual altar of Dionysus which belonged to the fes­ tival, not to the play, and was in the centre ofthe orchestra,7 The lat­ ter structure (here called <orchestra altar') is presumed to be a perma­ nent fixture in the fifth century that, owing to its sacred character, re­ mained unusable for staging purposes. In sum, the archaeological record provides little evidence that a centrally located orchestra altar was a permanent fixture in fifth-century theaters in Attica or in the northern Peloponnesus.	cache/grbs-4481.pdf	txt/grbs-4481.txt
