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 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*.
