Ancient Greek jar depicting stilt walkers, 6th century BC

Archaeological ruins and texts show that stiltwalking was practised in ancient Greece as far back as the 6th century BCE. The ancient Greek word for a stilt walker was κωλοβαθριστής (kōlobathristēs), from κωλόβαθρον (kōlobathron), "stilt", a compound of κῶλον (kōlon), "limb" and βάθρον (bathron), "base, pedestal".

Greek (Liddell-Scott)

κωλοβαθριστής: -οῦ, ὁ, ὁ περιπατῶν μὲ «ξυλοπόδαρα» ἢ ἐπὶ ξύλων, Ἡσύχ. ἐν λέξ. καδαλίων· ἐκ τοῦ κωλόβαθρον, τό, ξύλινον βάραθρον, ὡς τὸ καλόβαθρον, Ἀρτεμ. 3. 15.

Greek Monolingual

κωλοβαθριστής, ὁ (Α)
αυτός που περπατά με ξυλοπόδαρα.
[ΕΤΥΜΟΛ. < κωλόβαθρον, κατά τα ονόματα σε -ιστής, ή μέσω ενός αμάρτυρου κωλοβαθρίζω].
