Potential answers concerning the existence or not of specific stage structures in the Theatre of Dionysus, during the life of Aeschylus, may only be tentative and offered mainly on the basis of hints supplied by the texts themselves. Owing to the lack of further evidence, it is preferable to opt for the most straightforward and economical solutions (in terms of both complexity and cost). In this study I am dealing with two Aeschylean tragedies, Persae and Supplices, where the issue of the possible existence of specific stage installations or of a raised stage needs to be addressed. I will equally consider the fragmentary satyr play Theoroi, which raises the question of the possible influence of contemporaneous artistic styles upon stage constructions or objects.
