The cordax (Ancient Greek: κόρδαξ), was a provocative, licentious, and often obscene mask dance of ancient Greek comedy. In his play The Clouds, Aristophanes complains that other playwrights of his time try to hide the feebleness of their plays by bringing an old woman onto the stage to dance the cordax. He notes with pride that his patrons will not find such gimmicks in his plays. The dance can be compared with the modern Tsifteteli. | |wketx=The cordax (Ancient Greek: κόρδαξ), was a provocative, licentious, and often obscene mask dance of ancient Greek comedy.

Petronius Arbiter in his Roman novel the Satyricon has Trimalchio boast to his dinner guests that no one dances the cordax better than his wife, Fortunata. The nature of this dance is described in the satires of Juvenal, who says "the girls encouraged by applause sink to the ground with tremulous buttocks." The poet Horace and playwright Plautus refer to the same dance as iconici motus. | Petronius Arbiter in his Roman novel the Satyricon has Trimalchio boast to his dinner guests that no one dances the cordax better than his wife, Fortunata.

Juvenal makes specific mention of the testarum crepitus (clicking of castanets). In the earlier Greek form, finger cymbals were used. | Juvenal makes specific mention of the testarum crepitus (clicking of castanets). In the earlier Greek form, finger cymbals were used. | ||

Ο κόρδακας είναι ένας Αρχαίος Ελληνικός προκλητικός, άσεμνος χορός, της αρχαίας κωμωδίας. Είναι χιουμοριστικός ως χυδαίος. Ο Αθήναιος τον βάζει μαζί με την υπορχηματική όρχηση, προσθέτοντας ότι και οι δύο είναι "παιγνιώδεις" (ΙΔ' 630Ε, 28), ενώ λέει: "Ο μεν κόρδαξ παρ' Έλλησι φορτικός", δηλαδή "Ο κόρδακας είναι στους Έλληνες, χυδαίος". Ο Πολυδεύκης (IV, 99) τον χαρακτηρίζει κωμικό λέγοντας: "Είδη δε ορχημάτων, εμμέλεια τραγική, κόρδακες κωμικοί, σικιννίς σατυρική", ενώ η Σούδα γράφει: "κορδακίζειν· αισχρώς ορχείται. Κόρδαξ γαρ είδος ορχήσεως κωμικής". Η εκτέλεση του κόρδακα λεγόταν κορδακισμός και κορδάκισμα και χρησιμοποιούνταν με τη σημασία του άσεμνου χορού, ενώ ο χορευτής του κόρδακα ονομάζονταν κορδακιστής. | Ο κόρδακας είναι ένας Αρχαίος Ελληνικός προκλητικός, άσεμνος χορός, της αρχαίας κωμωδίας.
