Parados
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A parados is a song sung by a Greek chorus as it first enters the theater.
It is named for the corridors at the front of the stage of a Greek theater from which the chorus entered. Paradoi is its plural form.
It later came to refer to a bank of earth built behind a trench or military emplacement to protect soldiers from a surprise attack from the rear.
