Parodos (Ancient Greek: πάροδος, plural parodoi) is a term used in Ancient Greek comedy and tragedy. A parodos is both the first entrance of the chorus into the orchestra and the choral ode that they sing and dance as they enter (which is usually the first choral song of the drama). The parodos usually follows the play's prologue.
The term parodos is also used to describe the two entrances that flank either side of the skene stage-building, along which the chorus enter. These entrances are more commonly called eisodoi.
