Definition
In ancient Greek theater, a choral song or ode sung between the acts of a play, particularly between scenes or after significant dramatic moments.
Etymology
From Greek 'epi' (upon, after) and 'ode' (song). The term specifically describes songs that occurred 'after' dramatic action, distinguishing them from stasimon (stationary choral songs) and parodos (entrance songs).
Kelly Says
Greek theater was essentially ancient musical theater—episedia were basically the show-stopping numbers that gave the chorus a chance to comment on what just happened, like a Greek chorus in a musical.
