VI.] COSTUME OF THE CHORUS. 16S orchestra, their black dresses, distorted features, and snaky locks, are said to have inspired the spectators with terror*. But this chorus was of a very exceptional kind. In most cases the tragic chorus was composed of ordinary men and women, and their dress was that of every-day life. The dress of the satyrs in the chorus of the satyric drama was of a very simple character. It is depicted in several works of art, and the accuracy of the delineation is confirmed... by the descriptions in ancient writers. The present illustration repre- sents three members of a satyric chorus, and is taken from the (j^KJ ^3 mj> \\ '^^ ^^v^ {/V'vi /r^ 7^ yn\ ^ypv K\ u7 y j^ ^ ]> vase-painting referred to in previous chapters '. The only dress of the satyrs was a rough goat-skin round the loins, with a tail hanging down behind. The phallus was invariably worn. The mask was provided with a shock of bushy hair, and exhibited coarse and lascivious features'. Apart from the goat-skin the satyrs are represented as perfectly naked*.
