αἴθουσα : portico,
corridor. We distinguish two αἴθουσαι, an outer and an inner, see plate III. at end of
vol ume.—(1) the outer (αἰθ. αὐλῆς,
Od. 21.390, ν
176, Od. 22.449), on either
side of the vestibule, entering the court.—(2) the inner
(αἰθ. δώματος), leading from the court
into the house; this one served as a sleeping-place for guests (Od. 3.399, Od.
4.297), and was roofed.
