That is why he wore high thick-soled shoes, *cothurni*, and used a simple musical instrument through which his voice resounded.

So fühlte sich der Epiker, wie wenn die Muse, die Göttin, zu ihm heruntergestiegen wäre und über die irdischen Verhältnisse urteilen würde. Daher wollte der Grieche in den alten Zeiten es auch vermeiden, als Schauspieler, als Verkörperer des Dramatischen, das individuell Menschliche unmittelbar hervortreten zu lassen. Er stand auf Erhöhungen seiner Beine, seiner Füße. Er hatte etwas wie eine Art leichten Musikinstrumentes, durch das sein 'Ion erklang. Denn er wollte dasjenige, was dramatisch dargestellt wurde, hinausheben über das individuell persönlich Menschliche. Ich spreche wiederum nicht etwa gegen den Naturalismus, der für ein gewisses Zeitalter selbstverständlich und natürlich war. Denn in der Zeit, als Shakespeare seine dramatischen Gestalten in ihrer übergroßen Vollkommenheit hinstellte, war man dazu gelangt, das Menschliche menschlich erfassen zu wollen, da war durchaus ein anderer Trieb, etwas anderes als künstlerische Empfindung da. Aber jetzt müssen wir wieder den Weg finden auch im Dichterischen zurück ins Spirituelle hinein, müssen wiederum den Weg finden, Gestalten darzustellen, in denen der Mensch selbst, der auch ein geistiges Wesen ist neben dem leiblichen, sich innerhalb der geistigen Ereignisse der Welt, die überall die Welt durchsetzen, zu bewegen vermag.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":209,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/276/1923-05-20/p030"}],"english":["GA 276/1923-05-20/p034","GA 276/1923-05-20/p035"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":209,"en_words":175,"ratio":0.84,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.74,"band":"short","note":"This witness is materially shorter than the original (below 75%).
