Stationary song, performed by the chorus in Ancient Greek tragedy
Stasimon in Greek tragedy is a stationary song, composed of strophes and antistrophes and performed by the chorus in the orchestra ( "place where the chorus dances"). Aristotle states in the Poetics (1452b23) that each choral song (or melos) of a tragedy is divided into two parts: the parodos and the stasimon. He defines the latter as "a choral song without anapaests or trochaics". Wikipedia
