As regards the separate portions of the subject, the following is a
list of the treatises which I have found of most assistance. For the
Dionysiac festivals: Böckh’s dissertation, _Vom Unterschiede der Lenäen,
Anthesterien, und ländlichen Dionysien_, Berlin, 1816; A. Mommsen’s
_Heortologie_, Leipzig, 1864. For the arrangements connected with the
dramatic contests and the production of a play: Rohde’s article on the
Proagon in _Rhein. Museum_, xxxviii. p. 251 ff.; Sauppe’s paper, _Ueber
die Wahl der Richter_, &c., in _Sächs. Gesellschaft der Wissensch. zu
Leipzig_, 1855; Petersen’s _Preisrichter der grossen Dionysien_, Progr.
Dorpat, 1878; Lipsius, _Ueber die dramatische Choregie_, in _Sächs.
Gesell. der Wissensch._, 1885. For the structure and arrangement of the
theatre: Kawerau’s article _Theatergebäude_, in vol. iii. of Baumeister’s
_Denkmäler des klassischen Alterthums_, 1888; Vischer’s _Die Entdeckungen
im Dionysostheater_ (_Neues Schweizerisches Museum_, 1863); Julius’s
article, _Das Theater des Dionysos_ (_Zeitschrift für bild. Kunst_,

School of Classical Studies at Athens_, vol. i); Kabbadias, on the
theatre at Epidaurus, in _Πρακτικὰ τῆς ἐν Ἀθήναις ἀρχαιολογικῆς ἑταιρίας_,
1881 and 1883; the account of the Greek theatre by Wieseler in vol.
83 of Ersch and Gruber’s _Allgemeine Encyklopädie_, 1866; Wieseler’s
_Theatergebäude und Denkmäler des Bühnenwesens bei Griechen und Römern_,
1851; and Strack’s _Das altgriechische Theatergebäude_, Potsdam, 1843.
On the question of the scenery: Niejahr’s _Quaestiones Aristophaneae
Scaenicae_ (Greifswald, 1877); Sommerbrodt’s _De Aeschyli re scenica_
(in _Scenica_, Berlin, 1876). On the actors in the Greek drama, their
costume, style, and mode of delivery: Grysar, _De Graecorum tragoedia_,
&c. (Cöln, 1830); K. F. Hermann, _De distributione personarum inter
histriones in tragoediis graecis_ (Marburg, 1840); Beer, _Ueber die Zahl
der Schauspieler bei Aristophanes_ (Leipzig, 1844); Sommerbrodt’s two
articles _De Histrionibus_ and _De Arte Histrionum_, in his _Scenica_;

1883), _Ueber das Costüm der griechischen Schauspieler in der alten
Komödie_ (_Archaeol. Zeitung_, xliii); Christ’s _Metrik der Griechen und

chori Graecorum tragici habitu externo_ (Berlin, 1857); Sommerbrodt’s _De
chori tragici principibus_, in _Scenica_; and Arnoldt’s _Die Chorpartieen
